Description

A real photographic postcard of a woman wearing a Spanish regalia dress, ca. 1920s. Although the item is catagorized as a real photographic postcard, it is a photo of a drawing. The woman is wearing a lace mantilla veil on her head, a lace dress, and low heeled shoes. She holds a fan over her head as she stands on a sand with a light house, bridge and a body of water next to her. At bottom right is the name, B.J. Dorcas/Los Angeles, Cal. With creases, abrasions along the edge, crazing of the emulsion, heavy abrasions and photo album glue with paper remnants on the reverse, soiling, it is in fair condition.
