Girl in Red Dress Holding a White Dove and Scissors — Vintage Postcard

A dark-haired girl in a deep-red dress with tiny pearl buttons cradles a white dove against her chest with one hand, a small pair of scissors held in the other — an odd, quietly intriguing pairing typical of this era's postcard art.

A striking Victorian chromolithograph postcard, bolder in color than the softer pastel scenes in this set.

Worth a second look for anyone who collects curious or symbol-laden Victorian imagery.
