This superb couples romance postcard was published by Rotophot of Berlin sometime between 1906 and 1908. We know this because the printer was a member of P.R.A. “Verein Photographischer Reproduktions-Anstalten GmbH" a convention, or cartel, whose members were concerned with maintaining costs in the silver bromide photo card industry. The convention was born in '06, died in '08, and so when we find its logo as we do here, in the stamp box on the obverse of our card, it gives us a handy-dandy means of dating the card!
The coloring on this card is amazing. Check out the Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) design on the coverlet draped over the divan, and the condition is almost perfect.
Please examine our high res scans for detail.
