About this piece

Antique real photo postcard (RPPC) — continuous-tone photographic print, no halftone dot pattern, consistent with genuine silver-based photo paper. Studio portrait of a young girl standing in a dark velvet-style long-sleeve dress with a scalloped light collar, wide belt with tab detailing, and a matching soft hat with bow trim. She wears light stockings and dark Mary Jane-style shoes, posed before a draped studio backdrop beside an upholstered bench. A nice example of early 20th-century children's fashion.
