In the 1870s, when Vienna was still a jewel in the crown of the Austro-Hungarian empire, There was a Herr Mahlknecht, well known as a theatrical portraitist (by which we mean he took pictures of "theater people," rather than actually taking pictures theatrically, which might have been fun to witness, anyway :)
Beyond this, we have no history on him. Nothing on our model either. Was she actually a milk maid, paid a little something to pose in the studio? We can't say. Gorgeous photograph. Cabinet card of approx. 8 inches by 3 and 3/4 inches.
Please examine our high res scans for detail.
***Not a postcard in this case, but will be shipped securely at the same postage cost***
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.
