Boy with Laundry on the Line, Barely There, Very Lovely Old Real Photo Postcard black woman with what I believe is

with what I believe is an edition number on the box

later half 19th century

And the most exquisite and precious examples are the early ones

Attached via hinge to board with a mylar overlay and yellow matte over top

but which framed a straight line across the bottom edge of this child's hat rim

Boy with Laundry on the Line, Barely There, Very Lovely Old Real Photo Postcard black woman with what I believe isThe soft tonality underexposure of photo very much enhances it for me, making it feel dreamy and a bit romantic and perhaps our farm boy here in his half unbuttoned overalls and rolled up shirt sleeves is having romantic dreams of his own as he hangs up (and looks a bit as if fondling) the stockings! Hard to beat an image of laundry hanging out in the breeze, really. Lovely. 5 3 8" x 3 3 8". Good condition, unused postcard back.
