The Perfect Consomme Antique British Hand-painted Postcard fun sign which shows age and wearDefinitely one of my favorite old hand painted postcards I've found, and making me hungry! The wonderfully painted, sprawling bounty of produce certainly covers all the bases for making a beautiful broth, and then there it is, at near left, served up in a consomme cup decorated with what I'd guess is meant to be a coat of arms, and with a fantastic yellow halo or crown around it! Ta da! The painting, earlyish 20th century, is signed JD at bottom
