Vintage Marked French Postcard Ephemera, Happy Mail, Gallery Wall

📸 Front (Image & Style) Scene: A mother and child moment, framed with romantic florals and soft hand-tinting. The father figure leans in, creating a tender domestic tableau. Coloring: Notice the turquoise tint on the woman’s dress and the green blossoms — these little splashes of color were carefully applied to elevate the black-and-white photo into something lush and painterly. Publisher: Marked “Fotokelnerz 1021/12” at the bottom right — likely a German or Central European studio around 1910s–1920s. Style Influence: This leans more toward Art Nouveau romantic photography with floral framing, soft curves, and sentimental poses. ✉️ Back (Message) Written in English: “Memorandum to dear family of my friend. A swift for the new year. Your friend, Maria Lithosopulos.” Likely written by someone with Greek heritage (Lithosopulos is a Greek surname). A sweet and personal new year’s greeting.
