This scallop edged vintage undivided real photo postcard features a pretty young woman sitting in an unusual chair. She looks studious in her stylish glasses. As a collector and seller of vintage real photo postcards, I have found several photographers that I favor. The photographer of this postcard portrait, Florencio Bixio, is one of those photographers. Over many years I have collected and sold many of his photo postcards. Bixio was a talented photographer who operated photo studios in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was active between at least 1900 and 1930. He died in Buenos Aires in 1933. Bixio specialized in studio portraits, wedding portraits, and photos of entertainers. He also was a correspondent for the magazine “Caras and Caretas”, as well as a producer of photo postcards. Between 1900 and 1930 he opened photography studios in partnership with two other photographers. These studios were called “Bixio and Merlino” and Bixio and Castiglioni”. He was of Italian descent and emigrated to Argentina in 1896. He died in Buenos Aires in 1933. This vintage portrait postcard was made on thicker card stock than most postcards. The card measures about 4 x 5.5 inches. SOLD
