Here are some for Mary,Mary...

In some of the examples the reverse side of the post cards on which the illustrations are found are also provided. The stains, smudges and fade of the writing seem to make it look that much older and more precious.
Knowing that the illustration was accompanied by a letter also brings new stories to the cards and new sentimentality. There is potential for a general connotation of the rhyme, and then a further personal connotation for the people to and from whom the card was sent.
