Description

View RPPC Two Women & Infant in Tree Fork Sepia Photo Postcard AZO 1920s Bobbed Hair with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The woman on the left, partially obscured, wears a more traditional long, dark skirt, while the infant is swaddled in a light-colored outfit and bonnet. The scene is rendered in a sepia tone with noticeable overexposure or light flare on the right side and top edge, a common characteristic of period amateur photography. This Real Photo Postcard (RPPC), produced on AZO photographic paper with the distinctive "two up, two down" triangle configuration in its stamp box, dates its manufacture to the period between 1918 and 1930. The image itself is a quintessential example of early 20th-century vernacular photography, capturing a candid moment of two women and an infant posed before a substantial two-story clapboard house. The composition is artfully framed by a large, bifurcated tree trunk, with the subjects nestled within its fork. Of particular historical interest is the fashion displayed: the woman on the right sports a definitive 1920s bobbed hairstyle and is attired in dark overalls or a jumper over a light blouse, a sartorial choice reflecting the era's shift toward practical and less restrictive women's wear, especially in rural or casual domestic settings. The woman on the left, partially obscured, wears a more traditional long, dark skirt, while the infant is swaddled in a light-colored outfit and bonnet. The scene is rendered in a sepia tone with noticeable overexposure or light flare on the right side and top edge, a common characteristic of period amateur photography. A small, faint photographer's negative number "4" is visible near the center. The verso confirms the card is unused, with no cancellation, stamp, or manuscript, preserving the classic divided-back layout with vertically oriented text fields for correspondence and address. The overall condition exhibits the expected aging for a century-old artifact, including tonal yellowing, minor foxing, and slightly worn corners. Condition: Used.
