Beautifully hand-tinted vintage postcard of two very pretty young women (probably well known theatrical performers of the time), printed by Rotophot of Berlin circa 1904. Rotophot was a major German postcard producer, appearing on the scene in around 1900. It later became Ross Verlag, the publisher so well known for its film star postcards.
This card was posted in Austria. We think the simple "X" on the stamp is a variety of cancellation, though we'll leave that to our stamp collector friends. There is no visible date, but the stamp itself, an Austrian five heller stamp, bears particular markings that let us date the stamp to between 1901 and 1905, so we get a general date on our card as well.
Lovely card in very nice condition.
