We're excited about this one! First...mandolin! Okay, well, we love mandolin :) but mostly we're excited about sharing this RPPC with you because it is such a beautiful example of a slow exposure natural light source photograph of the period. The portrait is intentionally artistic, we think, while at the same time there seems enough blur on the subject's hands to suggest he is actually playing the mandolin by the (we're guessing coal) fire.

Only rarely do we come across photos like this one, so we can't help but think that this home studio RPPC was made by a fine photographer who may have produced an important body of work, though we'll probably never learn their name.

We definitely feel this image would grace a folk music album cover!
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.
