Are they really twins? Okay, perhaps not. Maybe just a couple of friends dressed up for the féte. Either way, an irreplaceable, priceless image :)
RPPCs (Real Photo Postcards) like this one were usually produced in local photo studios, sometimes in amateur photographer's workshops, but nearly always their production run was very limited, just large enough to share with friends and family. Consequently, they are as rare an item as they can be. We might value a particular card highly, or not at all, depending on our personal tastes, but we can be fairly certain we'll never see their like again. As postcards, RPPCs of this type open a window into the past that, rather than being produced by the popular media of the time, which just as ours does today, intentionally catered to the consumer, instead captured personal memories and so, we think, better reflect the actual experience of people living in that place and time. So though we love all the postcards we bring into our shop, we feel a very special affection for our odd and quirky RPPCs.

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 shipping materials, and as of the date of this listing are still charging below our overall cost on shipping.
