These oilette Raphael Tuck postcards painted by German
artist and doll maker Kathe Kruse were sold in America
in 1915. I love her dolls & was delighted to find these
postcards. I thought you'd enjoy them too.

They were also sold in Germany, France & Holland,
written in the appropriate language.
Adorable!

What's happening in your neck of the woods?
Are the postcards in a personal collection? They are very sweet. And I can just imagine the good time the littles had playing with the dollhouse. I know I would have a good time playing with it :)
ReplyDeleteAll the postcards are from the Raphael Tuck & Sons database and are in the public domain. I have a link at the bottom of my blog under Favorite Places. It's a great place to find holiday greetings for a blog, but heed my warning................you can waste hours looking through the 130,000 plus postcards!! It is fun though.
DeleteFun, fun...playing with the little ones! So, glad you do all the work looking through the 130,000 plus postcards, so we can enjoy! The Kathe Kruse doll postcards are so sweet.
ReplyDeleteThe cards are very pretty. Miss Ava is a little doll. I know she loved the doll house.
ReplyDeleteOh my...Kathe Kruse post cards. I wish you could see all the first generation dolls here at this convention. That wee girlie is making the doll house very happy.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet and adorable! Such a sweet little doll with the doll house.........she is so cute!
