Description: This is a European name card, embossed, hand drawn and colored, popular in the early 20th century. Edna is a female name originating from several languages. In Hebrew, it means "pleasure". Various women named Edna are referenced in the Old Testament apocryphal books Jubilees. The name Edna may also be an Anglicized form of the Irish and Scottish name "Eithne", meaning "kernel" in Gaelic. This was a very popular girl's name in the United States in the early 20th century. Edna, as derived from Hebrew, is closely related etymologically to the name Eden. This uncredited card is postmarked 1908 in Newark N.J. and was sent to "Unionville Orange Co., N.Y." It is in good condition with minor wear and a clean, clear image of a sailboat, made of flowers with two doves. "Jack and Jill went up the hill" and "you be careful" is written on the reverse which is clean. The colors on the card may vary due to the scanner settings and screen projections.Unless otherwise noted, I use Wikipedia, Playle's and Metropostcard for research and try to be as accurate as possible.
