This vintage real photo postcard is a bit puzzling. It is a portrait of a pretty young woman. The part that is puzzling concerns her identity. Initially, I thought she was an actress. Since she is not identified on the card, and given the card has a series number, it appears that the young lady is a postcard model. The photographer of this photo is Edgar Schmidt and he operated a studio in Dresden, Germany. Schmidt was in business from 1897 to 1907. The business had many changes of ownership. SOLD
