Two chromolithographed cherubs, their wings soft and their cheeks rosy, hold a bunch of roses on this German birthday greeting postcard. Cards like this were a popular form of sentiment in Germany and across Europe in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when color lithography made bright, inexpensive images widely available. Angel and cherub motifs were especially common because they suggested blessing and innocence, letting a sender wish a friend or relative well with an image that felt both sweet and devout. Collectors today value such cards for their vivid inks and for what they reveal about everyday affection and printing techniques of the period.
