OverviewThis wonderful Real Photo Postcard captures a large group of workers—men, women, and children—posing for a portrait at their rural place of employment. Standing before a large, rustic mill or workshop, the group represents a snapshot of early 20th-century labor, possibly a family-run business or a small local industry. It\'s a rich and detailed glimpse into the daily lives and community of working-class America.
Front of PostcardThe real photo postcard features a large group portrait of over twenty people, including men, women, and children, posed outside a large, rustic wooden building with a shingled roof. The subjects are dressed in the everyday work clothes of the era. They are arranged in several rows, with some standing on a raised porch or loading dock of the building. Horses are visible on both the left and right sides of the group. The vertical photograph is printed on a horizontal postcard, leaving wide white borders.
