Wow. Amazing :) Mlle. (or perhaps Fraulein) Leydner reminds us of one of our favorite gals, an arch rival of Mata Hari's named Suzy Deguez, who performed "La Danse Des Cheveux" or "The Hair Dance." Collecting images of women with splendiferous locks is a popular hobby!
Unfortunately, we can find no history on this artiste, and there is no photographer attribution. Great image though! The sender used an ink that faded over time to a shade of pale green, and scrawled the date on Miss Leydner's arm! Some of our customers will not buy a card if the front side has been postmarked, stamped, or written upon, while others buy only those that have been, exclusively!
Just for fun, we are including (though not for sale), a scanned image of a Belle Epoque periodical, out of our own tiny collection, that featured Suzy Deguez on its cover. See what we mean? They even look a bit alike :)
Please examine our high res scans for detail. There is a dot of pale touch-up of some kind within her right eye. Cannot know if this was done intentionally to make up for some defect in the printing/negative, or was entirely accidental.
Postage is for first class shipping in a secure photo mailer, and we happily combine shipping on all paper goods. If you purchase two cards, we will refund the postage on the second card, and when you purchase three or more cards from us at the same time, your shipping will be entirely free, except for international orders which, because of sudden increases in international shipping rates will still be charged one card's shipping fees on orders of three or more.
And please come visit our blog at:

where we post biographical and historical tidbits, images of cards and photographs for sale, some already sold but remembered fondly, related images of historical interest and sometimes even images of items that have not yet arrived in the shop, but that are expected to arrive soon, as well as coupon codes, links to other related sites, and more!
