Offered for your consideration is a historically significant, deeply moving World War I-era Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) studio portrait capturing a soldier, a woman, and their loyal dog.
ITEM DETAILS & CONTEXT:
Dating to the WWI era (circa 1914–1918), this striking postcard depicts a young European soldier seated in full military uniform—featuring a high stiff collar, distinct double-breasted button tunic, shoulder straps, and tall leather field boots. Standing closely behind him is a woman dressed in beautiful 1910s wartime winter fashion, wearing a heavy plush fur-trimmed coat and a matching cloche hat.
Stealing the show is their large, beautifully marked pet hound dog, resting calmly across the soldier's lap. Both individuals have their hands resting on the dog, creating a very touching and personal family portrait before the soldier likely headed to the front.
