Spectacular Ross Verlag postcard printed in Germany in the late 1920s. Just gorgeous. In sepia tone it's pretty hard to tell but those earrings look like old Taxco silver to us. We always hesitate to plaster "rare" on our postcards, so we won't in this case, but this card is actually very difficult to find. One reason might be because the performer has no available history to speak of. Following a few paths we did find her in the variety pages of a couple of Washington D.C. newspapers, making what appeared to be vaudeville appearances as a dancer in a venue directly across from the White House in the fall of 1922.
For the life of us, we can't make out the photographer's name (in script, lower left hand corner), but read the word "Berlin" beneath the signature. The number beneath that indicates that this card was produced in 1927, maybe '28.
Beautiful Ross card, in beautiful condition, of an unknown to us, glamor gal of the '20s. Hope she had a grand old time :)
