Antique postcard from 1910 titled "Gathering sea shells" depicts a woman in Edwardian-era dress on a rocky coastline at sunset. The central image is framed by a decorative embossed belt or buckle motif in a light green hue. This piece of ephemera was mailed from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and features a handwritten message, a 1910 postmark, and a "Made in Saxony" imprint, indicating its German manufacturing origins. The card shows significant age-related wear including creasing, corner rounding, and surface soiling that adds to its authentic historical character.
