A substantial collection of vintage postcards and paper ephemera featuring vibrant Pennsylvania Dutch folk art motifs, including Fraktur designs, hex signs, birds, tulips, and Amish figures. The items were designed and printed by Lee Mertz, with specific titles noted on the reverse such as "The Merry Engine," "The Caroline Parroquet," and "A Gay Dutch Angel." The collection includes both standard postcards and "SELF-STICK POST CARD" decals intended for car bumpers, luggage, and walls. Themes include humorous cultural sayings ("Kissin' wears out. Cookin' don't!," "We grow too soon old and too late schmardt") and greetings from the Pennsylvania Dutch Country and Amish Country. The pieces are stored in clear plastic protective sleeves.
