Images of Dutch kids were very popular on postcards in the early 1900s. Apparently they were considered both romantic and amusing. The words on the cards were written to imitate a Dutch accent. Pennants were also popular because the same postcard could be imprinted with different location names. Some of the pennants were printed directly on the postcard. Some of the pennants, like this one, were made of felt which was applied to the card.
This postcard fits into a couple of my favorite collecting categories: Minneapolis and postcards about postcards. It would also be considered a "novelty" postcard because something is attached to the card. And, of course, it is a great big friendly greeting for Postcard Friendship Friday.

ReplyDeleteNow, a century later, there are no girls left here who still wear those costumes. But during carnival you might have the chance to meet one.
