About this postcard

A head-and-shoulders studio portrait of an adolescent boy with neatly parted hair, freckles, and a serious expression, wearing a dark suit jacket, white stiff collar, dark tie, and a small white flower or pin on his lapel. He is posed against a painted studio backdrop of clouds and shadowed foliage. The image is a typical early-20th-century amateur or commercial portrait photograph printed on postcard stock, of the kind families commissioned and often had printed as real photo postcards.
