This vintage real photo postcard features pretty stage actress Miss Nina Wood. She is wearing flowers in her hair. Note the length of her hair. The postcard was published by Rotary Photo as part of a series (No. 1787A). Miss Woods photograph is by the Johnston & Hoffman studio. Theodore Julius Hoffmann and P. A. Johnston established a commercial photography studio in Calcutta (1882) and Darjeeling (1890). They also operated a studio in Simla. Johnston and Hoffmann’s photography business was the second largest commercial photography studio in India in that period. Many of their images were of North and Northeast India as well as Sikkim and Nepal. Johnston & Hoffmann produced many photographs of actors and actresses. It is certain that these performers did not travel to India to have their photo taken. It seems likely that Johnston & Hoffmann also had a studio in England during some part of their careers. This postcard is unposted and in very good condition (see scans).
