Very uncommon image of the artiste known as Doll. We've learned very little about this popular postcard model, but whether she was a singer, dancer, or actress, her woodland fantaisies were certainly dear to the hearts of many.
This particular Doll image is one we've seen only once before in years of constant postcardery. Doesn't mean we won't find another one tomorrow, or that it's "rare" (a much over-used term lately), but if we were compiling a collection of her images, we wouldn't let this one slip away!
Definite wear to corners on this magical card. Though it was posted in Austria in 1912, we would guess the card dated nearer 1906. N.P.G. (Neue Photographische Gesellschaft) of Berlin, regularly printed lovely versions of the Parisian photographer, Leopold Reutlinger's, work, often with the Oranotype process, giving images a very nice glossy finish.
Please examine our high res scans for detail.
