Embossed Nostalgic Postcard, Boy Names

This playful card comes straight from early-20th-century France, when first names were believed to carry distinctive qualities: Albert affectueux, Jacques expansif, Jean original, Paul tendre, Raymond malicieux. Designed to tease, flatter or intrigue, these cards invited the sender to write the name they truly preferred in the centre, the vintage equivalent of circling your crush’s name.
