Antique RPPC Real Photo Postcard Woman Hattie Lace Collar CYKO c1910 Portrait

About this piece

Antique Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) studio portrait of an elderly woman, identified by the handwritten name "Hattie" penciled at the top of the image. She is shown in a dark, high-necked garment with an intricate lace collar/jabot at the throat. Sepia-toned photographic image with soft studio backdrop, typical of early 20th-century photographer's studio work.

The reverse carries a CYKO stamp box, which dates the photographic paper to the 1904 – mid-1920s range; the card is unposted with no message or postmark, so this window (paper era c. early 1900s–1910s) is the best available dating evidence. Standard postcard size (3.5" x 5.5").
