About this postcard

A monochrome, vignetted portrait of a young woman in right-facing profile, her dark hair swept up in a voluminous early-1900s style. The image appears to be a printed illustration rather than a photograph, with an artist's signature at the lower right of the portrait. A handwritten inscription below reads 'Miss Oklahoma City.' Such idealized female heads were common on early twentieth-century postcards.
