RPPC Portrait Young Woman Helen 1920s Real Photo Postcard Studio Glamour

Description

View RPPC Portrait Young Woman Helen 1920s Real Photo Postcard Studio Glamour with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. A luminous studio portrait captures a young woman — her dark, softly waved hair framing a high forehead and a warm, slightly parted smile — in a moment of quiet elegance that speaks directly from the Jazz Age. Shot against a dramatic dark ground, she wears a wide-collared, draping blouse and a delicate pendant necklace; her hands are folded gracefully at the lower frame. The sepia tones and shallow depth of field mark this as high-quality professional studio work, likely from the early-to-mid 1920s, when Real Photo Postcards served as the era's personal portrait cards — mailed to friends and family as tokens of affection. The back bears a handwritten first and last name (first name: Helen) on the message side, with a photographer's reference number 5973 stamped in purple ink, and a printed "ARTURA" stamp box — indicating the card was printed on Kodak's Artura photo paper stock, manufactured between approximately 1910 and 1932, consistent with early-1920s dating. No postmark or address was used; this was likely a personal keepsake or gift copy. SKU: PC-01113 Condition: Used. Category: Collectibles › Postcards & Supplies › Postcards › Topographical Postcards.
