This antique undivided back postcard features a sweet little girl and her inattentive dog. The girl is adorable and is flashing a wonderful smile as she looks directly at the photographer. The dog is cute, but not cooperative with the photographer, as he looks intently away from the camera. The postcard was published by PFB (Paul Finkenrath), a Berlin postcard publishing and printing business. It is part of a series. (no. 3293). The Paul Finkenroth company made quality photo postcards and the company was heavily oriented toward export. They were known to be responsive to printing postcards that they’re customers desired over time. They were quite profitable but closed in 1911 when protective tariffs interfered with their business. The company was established by Paul Finkenrath and Paul Grasnick in 1897. The partnership lasted about a year and then Grasnick left to start his own lithography studio. SOLD
