LOVE 

Forty-Five Cent Roses

This beautifully painted FDC depicts the eternal bliss of young love. A prince and princess. A dashing hero and a fair maiden. A boy and girl.

Blue birds and butterflies flutter about this fairytale scene. A golden-haired girl in flowing pink dress has been picking roses and a tiny hand-held basket holds a small bouquet. The handsome young man has dismounted from his horse and gently embraces his love as she offers him a solitary rose. Along the path, a multitude of other roses offer their blooms to the beauty of this romantic encounter.

The vertical Love stamp is postmarked at a city famous for beautiful roses - Shreveport, Louisiana. This cover is basic by design. No text. No external distractions. Just the watercolored cachet of young love. Item #M1401 - $8.00
