Series 3: Greetings/ General
Description
This series contains cards sent to friends and relatives with a general message of greeting. Typical images used were the swallow, the pansy (which was a very popular image in silk cards. Its popular meaning at the time was 'you occupy my thoughts'), roses (love) and forget me nots (meaning true love, memories). Horseshoes and four leaf clovers were also popular as symbols of good luck and remembrance was a very important aspect of these cards, many having the legends "Sweet remembrance", "Forget me not" or "Thinking of you".
This series includes both silk postcard and plastic postcards
