Ruby Nobelius, who is also known as Ethel Ruby Nobelius Hayes, was born in 1887, dating the photograph to 1908. She is wearing an Edwardian style dress with a rounded, soft updo popularised by the 'Gibson Girl' aesthetic of the 1910s. Four years prior, Ruby was a bridesmaid in the wedding of her brother, Carl Oscar Nobelius, to Florence Prescott in 1904 at the age of 17. This image captures the fashion style of lifestyle of wealthier Australian women in the 1910s. It also displays the social significance placed on 21st birthdays in the 1900s. As she is dressed in a gown and photographed in a studio, it indicates a momentous occasion deemed important enough to commemorate and document. A black and white photograph taken in a studio setting of Ruby Nobelius on her 21st Birthday. The contrast in the photograph is low and the quality is grain, resulting in a low resolution image with limited distinguishable detail.Reverse, top left: " Ruby Nobelius on her 21st Birthday"nobelius family, 1900s

As stated in the postcard, Jack Nobelius, the infant in the photograph, is only 12 months old, dating the image to late 1914- early 1915, as Jack Nobelius was born on the 21st of December, 1913. Therefore, this postcard would have been written during the First World War, following Australian commitment to fight Germany as a dominion of Britain. Jack Nobelius was the son of Carl Oscar Nobelius and Florence Cathleen Nobelius (Prescott). He also had an older brother, Roland Nobelius.This postcard not only captures the early life of Jack Nobelius, but also provides insight into timelines on his life, the brief natures of postcards, their use as new years blessings, and the unique nature of Florence Nobelius' handwriting, featuring informal, somewhat rushed cursive script, with some errors in the writing.

Based on the 1901-issued stamp, this postcard most likely originates from the 1900s. The featuring of the nursery - almost certainly Carl Axel Nobelius' nursery - in a postcard indicates its importance to the identity of Emerald in this time, becoming a recognisable major feature of the town. Dates written on the postcard suggest it could have been sent on the 27th of February, 1909, but given its message is wishing the recipient a merry Christmas this may not be accurate unless it was sent from Emerald in 1908 and then sent on from Beaconsfield in 1909.This postcard captures a view of Nobelius' nursery in full operation, taken from a perspective of tourist appeal as a symbol of the town.This item is a faded sepia postcard depicting a view from a hill over a sprawling orchard in the valley. Tall natural trees grow in the background, behind the extensive landscape of ordered fruit trees. There is a patch of bare earth and small plants in the foreground. On the reverse, there is a handwritten Christmas and New Years message.Address: "ADDRESS / Miss h [illegible] / Beaconsfield / Railway Station / Vic" Message: "CORRESPONDENCE / Dear Mary / From Aunt [illegible] / Best wishes for / a merry xmas & / a bright happy / new year / J & M.J.
