This vintage real photo postcard features an attractive young woman with long hair and a nice smile. She looks to be in her teenage years. She is well dressed and it appears that she is dressed for some kind of an event, possibly a religious ceremony. Note her giant hat that she is holding in her left hand. The embossed stamp on the bottom right of the image, reveals that the young lady’s photograph was taken by West Photo. The studio was located in Elgin, Illinois. The likely proprietor of the gallery was Charles West. He is listed in the Elgin business directory between 1909 and 1916. The postcard has a Kruxo stamp box that reveals that the postcard dates back to sometime between 1908 and 1920. This postcard is in excellent condition (see scans).

Looks like a diploma or some other rolled-up document in her right hand. I wonder if this was a graduation picture.
