Picture Postcards; vintage dolls
New additions to my postcard collection. I love these old cards with the dolls features on them. Who took these pictures? Who placed the dolls lovingly in the little set ups to portray their adventures? The one on the right bottom is very special. You can't really see it in this scan, but the red part on the card is made of some kind of felt fabric. Soft!
Some people (collectors) prefer cards to be blank, not have anything written on it. But I do like that, it gives the card another level, a story, a history.
Unfortunately the back of these cards don't tell a whole lot of extra stories about their histories. The picnic scenery doesn't have anything on the back besides the printers name, Printed in Holland by Vita Nova Hank. The lady on the top right corner has no written message also. But printed on it, it tells us that it was printed in Rotterdam (city in the Netherlands) by the Brothers Spanjersberg company. It states that the picture is from Josee van Meurs and is called 'Furga Doll'. The cuty in the car is printed by Muva and has some unreadable kids scribblings on the back. The felted one is printed by Kruger in West Germany. It has been given to somebody on his or her birthday, on the back is written 'happy birthday by your uncle, auntie and nephews and nieces'. Unfortunately no stamp/postal mark to trace the date..
