This vintage postcard features a portrait of an attractive African American woman. She stands behind a wall topped by a vase of flowers. She is wearing a shiny fabric dress and earrings. She looks regal. Her portrait was taken by Renslers studio, located in Cincinnati, Ohio. According to one historical Cincinnati blog, Rensler’s was one of the few photo studios in Cincinnati that accepted African American clients. The studio operated for 83 years and shut down in 1989. The AZO stamp box on this card indicates that the postcard dates back to between 1918 and 1930. SOLD
