Beautiful example of a kind of risque Orientalism that was very popular in the early 1900s. We'll guess this postcard's image was photographed in France and that the postcard was printed in Germany, a pretty common chain of events during the early 1910s. On the card's obverse, we see in the stamp box the triangular logo for the Neue Bromsilber Convention, "NBC." NBC was an organization founded in Germany, in 1909, by producers of silver-bromide print postcards to maintain cost and quality control in what was at that time a huge industry. Finding its logo on a card therefore, helps us establish at least that the card was printed sometime after 1909. By its appearance and treatment of subject, we'll guess the 1910s for this one and probably before 1914, when the Great War broke out in Europe, and postcard publishing slowed to a crawl.
