Reminds me of artwork you would see on Victorian valentines!

Have you ever checked the back? Has this been framed like this since you've had it, since there seems to be another mat?

Looks almost chromolitho but not quite, as if it were more recent.

Another postcard, likely from the same period/session. Dated 1910 ... with Germany given as country of origin. Being sold from Belgium.

thanks all--

greenacres--no,this is professionally framed, I'd have to tear it all apart to see it.  Just going by what the woman I bought it from told me.  I am the third owner.  The first one kept it on a "rope", the second lady framed it, I just bought it.

thanks for finding the post card, I actually bought one like it off of ebay--but side by side there's just enough difference that maybe one is later..or maybe that's just me thinking out loud
 
My hope was that the rope would date it, actually I can't figure out how they kept it nice not framed all those years.  With all the info all of you dug up it makes me think it came out of germany-

Shes so pretty and the balloons just add so much to the pic or print -- I'm not even sure how to tell that. 

Thanks for taking your time on this I really appreciate it.

Plus I said the title wrong, it is high up, not up high

It could be an advertisement poster.

greenacres--there's an original thought

the lady I purchased from said it was numbered on the back so would that make a difference/

I can't figure out how she put an amount on the print at all

..sometimes...its...pick a number and hope for the best.....i,ve seen things sell for ridiculous amounts of money.at auction...yet they can be bought new for less....and i feel that this is what has happened here....initially this print looked very renaissance...but.. ..it now looks like its not what it seems...
