Lovely woman with such an expression of longing. Beautiful Italian monochrome tinted postcard from around 1930. Bears a Swiss stamp issued in '31 showing William Tell's son with crossbow and apple. This design was on a stamp originally issued in 1907.
Card was published in Italy by Flore'al, a publisher we rarely see.
Let the great Hoagy Carmichael and Miss Lauren Bacall explain just how much they share our model's feelings as they perform "Am I Blue" in Howard Hawks' 1944 masterpiece, "To Have and Have Not."
Based on Hemingway's 1937 novel, this was the 19 year old Miss Bacall's film debut, and where her famous romance with married, 45 year old Humphrey Bogart caught fire. We're a decade and a half off in timing on this one, but any excuse to hear Hoagy Carmichael tease that keyboard :) Link to film clip below:
