History

These vintage greeting cards date from the 1950s-1960s and feature hand-painted floral designs with roses and decorative elements typical of mid-century greeting card aesthetics.

These items are highly valued by ephemera collectors, vintage paper enthusiasts, and those interested in mid-century graphic design. Collectors appreciate these cards for their nostalgic appeal, delicate artwork, and as tangible representations of social history. They're particularly sought after for their decorative qualities and potential use in scrapbooking, framing as wall art, or as inspiration for contemporary designers.
