Antique real photo postcard (RPPC) showing a full-length studio portrait of a young man in a dark suit, white collar, and patterned tie. He stands with one hand at his side and holds a slim booklet or folder in the other. The studio set has a patterned carpet, a spindle-back chair, a draped table with a carved leg, and a painted backdrop.
The divided back is printed \"POST CARD,\" \"Correspondence Here,\" and \"Name and Address Here.\" The stamp box is the AZO design with triangles in all four corners, a style generally dated to about 1904–1918. The card is unposted, with no message or address. A small penciled \"1.00\" appears on the back.
The subject is unidentified. This is a good piece for vintage photography collectors, genealogy and \"instant ancestor\" displays, early 1900s men\'s fashion references, or mixed-media and ephemera projects.
Measures approximately 3 3/8\" x 5 7/16\".
