This is so beautiful! It almost looks like it has glass beads on it but can't tell if that is so, or if it is from texturing.

it's a high gloss gelatine coating - you're seeing the dotted pattern in the background, and probably some crazing in the glaze.

Ah, I see. is that like gelatin, as in the kind that jello is made from?

yes, gelatine/gelatin - the same sort used in photography emulsions - derived from bones, skins and connective tissues - it swells in cold water and dissolves in hot.
Gelatin tissue, treated with Potassium dichromate can be adhered to a photographic or chromolithographic image (old postcards could be either) using alcohol. No one knew these techniques better than the old printers in Bavaria, which is why you didn't see "gels" or the heavily embossed ones after the first world war.

and isn't that a wonderful thing?
the more that we age, the less we realize we know!
I think that might be the definition of "wisdom"
