Description

1909 Antique Postcard Child Girl & Dog "Be Good And I Will Love You" Owatonna MN. This charming antique postcard from 1909 features a delightful illustration of a young child, possibly a girl, in a bonnet and ruffled dress, interacting playfully with an attentive dog standing on its hind legs. The whimsical scene is framed with delicate floral motifs, including pansies, and carries the heartwarming message, "Be good and I will love you." The artistry captures the innocence and sentimental appeal characteristic of early 20th-century postcards, making it a wonderful piece of historical ephemera. The card's reverse confirms its journey through time, bearing a clear Owatonna, Minnesota postmark dated April 22, 1909, alongside a one-cent U.S. postage stamp. Published by the well-known Gartner & Bender of Chicago, this postcard exemplifies the popular illustrated style of its era. It offers a glimpse into personal communication from over a century ago, addressed to Mr. Ray Compton in Eagle Lake, Minnesota, and sent by "Margaret." This collectible item is perfect for enthusiasts of vintage illustration, Minnesota history, or early 20th-century Americana.
