Nude French Flapper with Urn and Pearls, J. Mandel, circa 1910s/20s
Lovely, classic, Mandel nude. Great print quality! Edges were a bit unevenly trimmed, which could be an important issue with some collectors, so the card is priced taking this into consideration.
This is why we not only offer scans of our cards sometimes in close crops to show off points of interest, but always offer scans that show all of the card's edges and corners as well. We didn't find this card's slight mis-trimming before we scanned and carefully cropped the scanned image ourselves. It's not always easy to tell by eye.
Sometimes these faults are difficult to see from, say, a listing that offers only a photograph of a card that doesn't lie perfectly flat.
Most dealers have only the very best of intentions, and because as shopkeepers we constantly need to acquire stock, we sometimes take chances on poorly photographed cards when buying online. This is a perfect example of what can sometimes result!
But, we almost never buy cards from photos or scans that don't clearly display all four, complete, edges and corners of a card. That feels to us like pulling the arm on the slot machine and just hoping for cherries instead of lemons :)
A wonderful example of J. Mandel's work. Minor wear to edges and corners, and a slightly uneven trim to edges.
Please examine our high res scans for detail.
The item you are considering for purchase is, unless otherwise noted, a vintage postcard of approximately 5 and 1/2, by 3 and 1/2 inches. Postage is for fully-insured, first class shipping in a secure photo mailer (to avoid any damage to your purchase in the mails), and we happily combine shipping on all paper goods. If you purchase two cards, we will not charge for 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 increases in international shipping rates will still be charged one card's shipping fees on orders of three or more. We do not charge for insurance or shipping materials, and as of the date of this listing are still charging below our overall cost on shipping.
