Item Description

Descripción en Inglés:
Carefully selected from our Open Class archive, this original 1938 postcard captures the iconic arched promenade of _El Rosedal_ in Buenos Aires' Palermo district. The sepia photographic view exudes interwar elegance, with strolling figures evoking the calm and optimism of the late 1930s.

POSTAL VALUE: Mailed from Argentina to Montevideo, Uruguay, the card bears a 5c "Mariano Moreno" stamp, complemented by a violet 4c _Timbre Postal_ due marking applied upon arrival in Uruguay. The presence of this due stamp adds notable postal interest, highlighting cross-border postal accounting practices in the River Plate region.

AESTHETIC VALUE: The image is beautifully composed, with deep perspective under a series of floral archways. It’s a rare and visually engaging view of one of Latin America’s most celebrated public gardens.

SOCIAL VALUE: The message, dated 30/9/1938 and written in elegant cursive, speaks to family life and health, offering a personal window into daily concerns on the eve of global conflict.

This piece elegantly combines historical postal usage, visual charm, and personal narrative—ideal for Open Class or thematic philately on _urban gardens_, _Argentina–Uruguay exchanges_, or _interwar South America_.
