Vintage 1900s Real Photo Postcard Tender Thoughts Romantic Couple

This early 20th-century real photo postcard, dated between 1900-1919, captures a tender moment between a young couple in period attire. The scene features a man in a dark suit leaning on a low fence, gazing affectionately at a woman dressed in a flowing light green gown with a matching headband and waist sash. The hand-tinted image adds a subtle touch of color to an otherwise sepia-toned photograph, highlighting the woman's dress and cheeks with delicate pink hues. In the upper left corner, a sentimental poem titled "Tender Thoughts" reads: "Sweet thoughts of love I send to greet you And through the years May gladness meet you," enhancing the nostalgic and romantic theme of the card.Produced as a real photo postcard (RPPC) with a standard size of approximately 5.5 x 3.5 inches, this vintage piece stands out due to its emotional expression and careful hand-coloring. The postcard is marked with the number 8105/1 and a publisher's emblem "L & K," suggesting a European origin, likely German or Austrian. The back reveals a handwritten message in elegant script, adding personal historical context, though some writing is obscured by paper remnants. This postcard is a collectible example of early 1900s photographic postcards, appealing to collectors interested in vintage romance, hand-tinted photography, and sentimental ephemera.
