This vintage Czech Christmas postcard depicts a young woman crowding eagerly around an old woman fortune-teller, who is looking into a skrying bowl full of water. The text reads “A girl who wants to get married this year must give at least a ducat to Maticka.” Dated 1909, the postcard features a divided back and is original, not a reprint. The design is signed with an illegible monogram and was posted in Czechia during the early 20th century. With a standard size of 5.5 x 3.5 inches, this artist card captures a unique and festive occasion, making it a valuable collectible for postcard enthusiasts and those interested in historical Czech culture.
