This postcard shows a large Floral Organ with moon and star motifs in Wibsey Park, Bradford. This is an example of carpet bedding, the planting of blooming plants close together into a clear design. The practice began in the Victoria era and was popular in the early 20th century. These public displays attracted people into town parks and were used to cultivate a sense of civic pride, showcasing written messages and emblems, as well as new ideas.
