Victorian Postcard — Girl Holding a Secret Letter, Finger to Her Lips

A Victorian chromolithograph postcard showing a curly-haired girl in a white dress pressing a sealed white envelope to her chest, one finger raised to her lips in a conspiratorial hush — the perfect image of a letter kept with care. An especially fitting piece from the 19th-century postcard tradition for postcrossers who love the magic of sending and receiving mail.
