Vintage Cat Postcard - Handwritten Note Declining Card Night Due to Prior Engagement #3446243 (License: Personal Use)

This antique postcard, likely from the early 1900s, showcases a finely detailed chromolithograph of a wide-eyed tabby cat with white muzzle, green eyes, and a green collar adorned with three silver bells. Above and below the illustration, elegant purple ink script conveys a polite refusal to attend Thursday evening card games due to a prior engagement, ending with a friendly suggestion to reschedule. The publisher mark “A.&M.B. No 531” appears vertically along the left edge.
