About This Item

United States, 1915. Very good. Minor toning, dust soiling.. Original photograph of two young women, mounted onto a thick embossed Private Post Card with the message "I am still single how are you?". The humorous novelty postcard would have been produced for the two women in a professional photographer's studio as a charming momento.
Embossed card (3.75" by 6"), original oval photograph (3" by 2") mounted to recto, printed on verso with space for address and 2 cent stamp.

A rather bold move on behalf of these two young ladies to attract potential suitors. "Private Mailing or Post Card" distinguished privately printed cards from government printed cards. Messages were not allowed on the address side of the private mailing cards, as indicated by the words "This side is exclusively for the Address," or slight variations of this phrase.
