DESCRIPTION

This colour postcard shows a young woman sitting beside a post and rail fence. Her elbow is resting on the top rail of the fence and her hand is against her face. She has a ‘dreamy’ look on her face. She is dressed in a blue dress with a large pink rose on the front. Pink flowers are along the fence and water and trees are in the background. Her image, along with that of a man, is in the trees on the left-hand side of the image. The verse printed on the postcard reads as follows: “In the Gloaming. How well I remember the day dear, When you called me a bundle of charms, And told me that you loved me, As you held me in your arms.”
