Arthur Thiele Black Cat Suitor with Roses Postcard

A black cat suitor pauses at the door, dressed in a fur-trimmed coat over a blue skirt, holding out a bouquet of pink, red, and peach roses wrapped in green paper. A white cane stand waits by the threshold, as if he's just set down his walking stick to free both paws for the flowers. Arthur Thiele gives his Edwardian animal cast real manners, and this caller is equal parts formal and a little smitten.

A fitting choice for Valentine's Day, a birthday note with a wink of romance, or a postcrossing swap where old-world charm travels well.
