This is the postcard that my daughter Rebecca bought at the Berkshire stamp show today.



(She showed it to me only when we got in the car to leave!
I wasn't aware that she had bought anything or was even interested in anything there!)

A very nice portrait. Guessing early 1900's, pre-flapper era, but it appears to be unused.

What a beautiful, captivating period portrait photo. Your daughter has excellent taste; a great RPPC card -- postally used or not.

My timeless "maiden" has a first name. This RPPC was sent from "Lucile" to a friend; she lived in Chicago in 1912.



She was mailed from Chicago's Canal Street Station and bears a Times-Cummins Dial D- Killer-105s. The CANAL STATION Machine 2 was used from 1911 through 1913.

t360 and Hal. your images are stunning. Not taking away from the beauty of the young women, but it seems that the photographers were artists of the first order.

I spotted the stamp and cancel first - the stamp is intact and not missing a corner. I didn't notice the back until later. I would have loved to see this card before the silver nitrate began to deteriorate. The card was a $1.00. Looking at her: wondering who she was; what her life was; what her background was; what became of her; her life story -- the thoughts are priceless~! It would be nice to learn her name.

For the time being, she remains "face" down --her beauty protect from light, lightly mounted on a page; stored, protected and covered by an acid-free protector for the future. Perhaps, that's where she's looking too.

Both are just stunning! That first girl is/was beautiful! Looks like a friend of mine now named Nikki.
