About this postcard
A studio bust portrait of a young man in a dark high-collared uniform tunic, wearing a peaked cap with a large badge and a metal badge pinned to his chest; small "C.S." insignia are visible on his collar. The plain mottled backdrop and sepia tone are typical of small-town studio photography of the 1910s and 1920s, when such portraits were commonly printed on real-photo postcard stock. The uniform and badges suggest a police officer, guard, or military serviceman, though no unit or department is identified on the card.
