Choosing Keeping Embossed Nostalgic Postcard, Playing Cards
Part of a broader turn-of-the-century fascination with coded communication, the “Language of…” postcards, whether of flowers, colours, or sentiments, translated emotion into symbol. Produced in Germany at the height of postcard culture, they offered a way to express affection, longing, or hope within the conventions of polite society. Taken from the Choosing Keeping extensive collection of ephemera, we have worked carefully to match the distinctive colour palette and embossed texture of the originals - perfect for sending as a small note, framing as part of a gallery wall, or accompanying a gift.
