Vintage Harvest Children Corn Husking Greeting Card Edwardian Era
Text on Card
IF WE WERE BOTH HERE I BET I'D FIND A RED EAR
Description
Dressed in period-appropriate clothing—girls in white pinafores and boys in neat jackets—the children in this charming Edwardian-era greeting card gather around a wooden tub filled with corn stalks in a rustic farmyard or barn setting. The hand-colored lithograph showcases warm orange and golden tones with a wooden barrel visible at right, capturing youngsters participating in what appears to be a corn husking activity. The card text references finding a 'red ear,' a traditional corn husking party custom where finding a red ear of corn earned a prize or kiss.
