Lovely image, but card has suffered some damage. A gentle bend along the left side toward the edge, a tiny chip, upper right corner and a crease in lower left corner. None of these are particularly noticeable in person, but they are flaws and the card is priced accordingly.
We love the Italian publisher and printer, Fotocelere of Torino. They were originally established in the 1910s and in addition to postcard production also produced silent films, though we're under the impression that this was a fairly limited experiment.
The company also opened a satellite in Paris, printing postcards marked on the obverse, "Made in France," and we're not certain, sometimes, whether an image originated in Italy or France, since some of the models, like this one, seemed to make regular appearances on postcards produced by French companies as well.
This is one of several "Woman with Pet" images by Fotocelere we recently received into the shop. Postcards featuring pets are always a popular item and we hope you enjoy this one!
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.
