Description:Antique real photo postcard (RPPC) featuring a full-length studio portrait of a young woman, circa 1918–1930. She stands beside a carved wooden pedestal with a book resting on top, her hands folded on the edge. Her white dress has a wide ruffled collar, three-quarter sleeves with openwork trim, a soft sash at the waist, and a tiered skirt banded with decorative openwork rows. She wears pale stockings and dark cross-strap pointed-toe shoes, and her short curled hairstyle is typical of the period. The backdrop is a painted studio scene with columns, ornate grillwork, and a draped panel. The image has warm sepia tones and good detail throughout.
The reverse is printed POST CARD with CORRESPONDENCE and ADDRESS sections and an AZO stamp box with two triangles pointing up and two pointing down, a style associated with 1918–1930 production. The card is unposted and has no message or address. The sitter and studio are unidentified.
This is a nice piece for collectors of early 20th century photography, vintage fashion and costume history, antique studio portraiture, or anyone assembling \"instant ancestor\" and ephemera collections.
Measures approximately 3 7/16\" x 5 5/16\".
