This lovely vintage real photo postcard features dancers Ada Mitchell and Minnie Shaw. Both women were members of the very popular Tiller Girl woman’s dance troupe. The group began in London in the 1890’s and kept growing until there were dozens of Tiller Girl troupes spread around the world. Variety Magazine described the Tiller Troupe of Girls as very American, even though they were English; and that they were “good to look upon, well dressed and a good show”. This postcard was published by Georg Gerlach & Co. as part of a series (407/3). The firm was a real photo card publisher and printer based in Berlin, Germany. SOLD
