Antique Early 1900s “Remember Me” Puffy Red Rose Postcard – German Embossed Rowboat Design

A rare and romantic keepsake from the early 20th century, this antique embossed postcard features a richly colored red rose nestled in a carved rowboat, gliding on still waters. The raised “puffy” floral texture is beautifully hand-tinted and delicately framed in soft embossing, with the words “Remember Me” etched below in elegant script. A dreamy piece of old-world charm, ideal for framing, gifting, or tucking into a nostalgic vignette. Made in Germany, this postcard remains in very good condition with only light signs of age.

Embossed “puffy” postcards were especially popular between 1900 and 1915, during what is known as the Golden Age of Postcards. Germany was the global leader in high-quality postcard printing, producing richly embossed and hand-colored designs beloved for their artistic detail. Florals were a common motif, and the phrase “Remember Me” was often used in friendship and romantic exchanges. These postcards served not only as correspondence but as treasured mementos—kept in albums, boxes, and hearts for decades.
