About this postcard

A young man in a dark suit, tie and flat cap stands beside a large folding view camera mounted on a wooden tripod, holding a cable release in his right hand. He poses in a photographic studio before a painted backdrop of trees and a landscape, with an ornate carved bench and patterned carpet at his feet. The image is a self-referential studio portrait of a photographer at work, a common subject for real-photo postcards of the 1900s–1910s.
