Sometime around 1910, Mrs. G. F. Latimer was living in Woodsfield – a village in Monroe County of southeast Ohio.

Mrs. Latimer was celebrating a birthday, and she received a bright postcard greeting from Guy Latimer.
There is no familial greeting of “Dear Wife” or “Mother” – so it is unclear how Guy Latimer is related to Mrs. G. F. Latimer.
The postcard was not mailed, which could indicate that Guy lived nearby, if not in the same household.
The face of the postcard bears a medallion drawing of a rural stream surrounded by a large bouquet of violets.
The black background emphasizes the hazy, visionary scene – perhaps a watercolor drawing.
The postcard was printed in Germany.
On the reverse, the message is written in a very legible hand – “Wishing you a happy Birthday.”
One hopes that Mrs. Latimer was pleased by the colorful postcard and that she enjoyed her birthday.
