Your Fortune Postcards
From Mystic Tea Room
Your Fortune is a set of photographic poscards in which a middle aged woman or a woman dressed as a "Gypsy" foretells the future for one or more upper class young women. Each card contains the words of the reader. Those of the tea leaf reader are rhymed poems about tasseomancy in English, similar in meter and scansion to the Poetry on Cups and Saucers.
These postcards were printed in Belgium for sale in England. There are at least six cards in the set, and there may be as many as three sets.
A new lover now I see,
a jealous lover, seems to me;
at odds he'll quickly be with thee.
J.W.S.
