Published by Photochemie of Berlin circa 1906 (the year Germany began using divided back postcards) the more we look at this one, the more we love it. It is as if the young woman, by taking up her pen and writing whatever it is she writes, is giving birth to a fantasy realm that is rubbing up against the mundane to the degree that the "real" world begins to take on aspects of the fantastic! So very cool :) Posted in Berlin in 1907.
Though it hardly fits, we'll list this under "risque" because it is technically one of those boudoir/lingerie images that were considered risque at the time.
Lovely posted condition with writing on the back in a beautiful hand that serves to boost the atmosphere! 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.
