Discover a captivating 1907 postcard featuring an artistic Japanesque design. The front showcases two silhouetted figures standing by a serene lake, framed by elegant trees, gazing towards a large character "大" (Dai, meaning 'great' or 'big') in the sky, possibly depicting a sunset or moonrise scene. The aesthetic evokes the timeless beauty of Japanese woodblock prints, with a distinctive color palette of orange, yellow, and black creating a striking visual.This early 20th-century piece, postmarked from Chicago in 1907, carries a charming handwritten message from "Alma" describing beautiful weather and a picturesque lake, mentioning it's "almost too nice outside to play basketball." The postcard was addressed to Miss Hattie Haflers in Weyauwega, Wisconsin. The reverse also features a United States 1-cent Franklin stamp (Scott #300). This collectible postcard offers a unique blend of early American postal history and an exquisite artistic style, making it a distinctive addition for collectors of early 1900s ephemera, Chicago history, or postcards with an Asian art influence.
