This vintage real photo postcard features an attractive dance couple. It appears that the dancers are from Brazil (judging by the postmark). The male dancer is wearing a very cool white suit while the woman is wearing traditional clothing. Both of the dancers are flashing beautiful smiles. This postcard was published by L. Langebartels. The firm was located in Berlin, Germany and also was a supplier of photographic paper and plates. The card was postmarked in 1908 in Bahia, Brazil. Bahia is in northeastern Brazil. Interestingly, the city’s annual carnaval celebration is known to bring together flamboyantly costumed dancers with samba and axe music for a massive “street party”. Could the couple seen in this postcard be carnaval dancing? SOLD
