Happy B Day to the American Red Cross.

American Artist Frances Brundage 1854-1937

These wonderful postcards were first published in 1901 by
Raphael Tuck and sold in Great Britain, Canada &
the United States.  I love her illustrations of children.
What a wonderful treat to have received one of these
cards with a sweet message from a special friend.
Those were the days!!!
