Trippy! It would seem the '60s had nothing on the 1900s! A couple of gals costumed in what looks like Algerian Kabyl native dress and doing that Madame Blavatsky thing :)
We believe the image on this postcard is not a photograph, but an image of a photograph produced on a press.
The early 1900s was an era of mystical and magickal experimentation, the popularity of which was often reflected in the popular media of the time.
Here we have one of two wonderful postcards we just received in that were produced probably sometime between 1900 and 1905. The images themselves look very much like the work of one of the big French printers of offset printed images like Charles Collas of Cognac, then reprinted in a fancier format by a German printer like NPG, but unfortunately there is no photographer or publisher attribution on this one. Great fun though!
Excellent condition. Please examine our high res scans for detail.
