PRETTY WOMAN TENNIS PLAYER : RED HEAD : GREAT SMILE : P.C. PARIS : RPPC
This vintage postcard features a pretty red headed woman tennis player. She is holding a racquet in one hand and a tennis ball in the other hand. Note her tennis outfit. One would have a hard time guessing that she was wearing a tennis dress, but that was typical tennis fashion during the era that this postcard was published. The message on the postcard is in Spanish and from Pepita to Antonia. The message was written in 1920. I have made an attempt to translate it. The message appears to state, “everyone wishes you a sea of happiness”. This postcard was published by P.C. Paris and the card is in good condition (see scans).

RISQUE PHOTOGRAPH OF A PRETTY WOMAN (1920’s PC PARIS)
This vintage risque real photo postcard features an attractive woman sitting on a chair. The straps of her lingerie are off her shoulder, she is wearing visible stockings, and she is showing a lot of skin. This is a pretty suggestive photo postcard. The young woman is wearing earrings and a bracelet. She is holding a photo album that appears to contain real photo postcards. The photos in the album could possibly be cabinet cards. Note the interesting and unusual lamp in the background. I view the lamp as gaudy which is a perfect fit for this risque photograph. The card was published in France by P. C. Paris. The P.

PRETTY NUDE MODEL WITH INVITING GAZE POSES FOR PORTRAIT (P C PARIS 1920’S)
I am hoping that Cabinet Card Gallery visitors are not offended by this tastefully done vintage nude real photo postcard. Postcards of nudes were a popular collectors item during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. They were considered to be artistic and not pornographic, although most photographers and nude models did not allow their names to be printed on the postcards. In addition, some retail outlets (Photo Galleries) for these nude postcards kept them under the counter. Clearly, many of those involved with creating and selling these postcards, had fears of being prosecuted. Buyers of these postcards did not mail them. They were strictly collectibles. There is some disagreement about the women who posed for these photographs. Originally, many believed that the women were either local prostitutes, artist models, or actresses. However, there is a growing belief that most of the models were working women who modeled to supplement their income. This particular nude postcard was published by a French firm known as “P.C. from Paris. The P. C. logo is an abbreviation for Papeteries de Levallois-Clichy. The firm published a variety of real photo postcard topics including portraits of women, nudes, views, and holiday cards. The company was active in the 1920’s. The lovely model seen in this postcard was a popular one. She modeled for many of the firm’s nude postcards. This postcard is part of a series (#1887). She appears to be of Spanish origin and is casting an inviting gaze. She is wearing a “piano shawl”. Normally these shawls are used to decorate the top surface of a grand piano. Piano shawls were also used as an accessory in women’s fashion. SOLD
