A wonderful antique photographic postcard featuring a young woman identified on the reverse as Miss Louise Terra, posed in a beautifully tailored skirt suit, gloves, lace-up boots, and an elaborate flower-trimmed hat. The handwritten inscription dates the photograph to July 22, 1912 and notes her age as 17, giving this piece something many anonymous antique photographs lack: a name, date, and personal history.
The full-length composition and wonderfully specific Edwardian-era fashion make this an especially compelling piece for an antique photograph collection, gallery wall, or old-world display.
