About this postcard
An unidentified woman in a long dark dress and a small child in a light outfit stand beside a rustic wooden bench or trellis. The woman holds a large basket overflowing with white flowers, and both figures look down toward it. The handwritten note "4 yrs" likely records the child's age, suggesting the portrait was kept as a family memento. The card carries no caption, but the publisher's imprint places the studio in Frankford, a busy industrial neighborhood in northeast Philadelphia, in the early 1900s.
