About this postcard

A woman in a dark, fur-trimmed coat with a fur collar and cuffs sits on wooden steps, hands clasped in her lap. She wears a lace collar and a long chain necklace, and embroidered cushions rest beside her against a clapboard wall. Her layered coat and lace collar reflect the modest, cold-weather dress of the Edwardian period.
