This is an antique real photo postcard (RPPC) of three people standing together in a pine forest. A woman in a long white dress and a wrapped turban-style hat stands between two men in white shirts. The man on the right has a pipe in his mouth and holds a pine bough. A young pine sapling stands in the foreground, and tall trees, ferns and undergrowth fill the scene around them.
The back has a divided layout with "POST CARD" printed across the top and a NOKO stamp box. The NOKO paper and the clothing both point to the 1910s. The card is unused, with no writing, postmark or stamp. The people and location are not identified.
This is a nice piece of early 20th century rural life. It would suit collectors of real photo postcards, vintage vernacular photography, anonymous snapshots and forest or outdoor scenes.
Measures approximately 3 1/2" x 5 1/2".
