About this postcard

A man sits in a wicker chair outdoors with a woman standing beside him, her hand resting on his shoulder, both facing the camera. Dense foliage behind them fills the frame, so the setting looks like a garden or yard rather than a studio. Wicker furniture was a common sight on American porches and lawns in the early 1900s, and informal portraits like this one were often made at home and printed as real photo postcards to hand to relatives and friends.
