Dating back to the 1890s, this card captures the essence of a summer garden in full bloom, with leaves of rich green hue providing a lush backdrop to the vibrant petals. The intricately detailed butterfly, with its wings adorned with red, black, and white spots and intricate markings, adds a touch of whimsy and wonder to the scene. The butterfly's graceful form is a reminder of the fleeting beauty of nature, a fitting metaphor for the passing of one year and the arrival of the next.
