About this postcard
The picture is a sepia-toned studio portrait of five people posed against a painted backdrop: a man seated at the left, an older woman in a dark dress and spectacles seated at the right, a young boy in a white shirt with a large bow tie seated in front, a young woman standing behind them, and a girl in a white dress standing at the far right. Real photo postcards of this kind were typically made by local photographers in the 1900s-1920s for families to mail or keep as mementos. No caption, imprint, or studio mark is visible, so the family and the photographer cannot be identified from the scan.
