This is one of my favorite post cards.
I love the scene of the children, listening so intently to their teacher;
and the fireplace in the background makes the room appear warm and cozy.
The items on the walls and the mantel add so much to the warmth of the room.
It puts a smile on my face and I wonder what lessons they were learning that day.

I am so blessed to have this little piece of history.

The history is fascinating.
Oh, I just love your blog. I collect Antique and Vintage ephemera. This post card is wonderful. I love thinking about the history of these finds. When a treasure like this falls into our hands it's as if we become the keepers of their memories.
