This original real photo postcard (RPPC) features a beautifully composed studio portrait of a young woman with her beloved dog, likely a Collie or Border Collie. The image is bathed in soft light, with a rich sepia tone that captures the elegance and emotion of the moment. The woman is dressed in a light-colored, delicately patterned wrap with a large bow, fashionably draped across her shoulders. Her wavy hair is styled in the popular bobbed fashion of the early 1910s, and her expression is serene, warm, and affectionate as she leans toward her loyal canine companion. The dog, with its intelligent gaze and distinctive facial markings, radiates calm and trust. Together, they project a timeless bond of companionship. In the lower right-hand corner of the card is the diamond-shaped logo “PFB”, identifying the publisher as Photochemie Paul Fink, Berlin, a prominent German firm known for high-quality photographic postcards. The serial number 4205/6 appears just below the logo. The reverse of the postcard bears a handwritten message in German and a clear postmark from Hösel (Bz. Düsseldorf). The card was addressed to Fräulein Frieda Jungermann in Valbert bei Dortmund, Germany. A rough translation of the message is “Dear Friedel! Warm greetings and kisses from all of us. We are doing well and hope you are healthy too. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Warm regards, your parents.” (SOLD)
