Up for sale is an authentic, original Edwardian-era antique postcard published by Bamforth & Co. (N.Y. City & England) as part of their historic \"Life Model Series.\"
This charming, staged photographic card features a humorous narrative scene: a young shoeshine boy kneeling before an elegantly dressed Edwardian woman against a painted street backdrop. The bottom margin reads: \"HOW COULD I TAKE THE MONEY.\"
Condition Details (Sold AS-IS):Front: Clear sepia image with great contrast. Minor edge and corner wear consistent with a 120-year-old paper item.
Back: Undivided back (places production prior to early 1907). Unposted, unwritten, clean reverse with minor age-toning/foxing spots.
* Please review the high-resolution scans carefully to evaluate the exact condition before purchasing. Perfect addition to any collection focusing on social history, vintage street trades, or classic Bamforth novelty humor!
I stand behind every sale. What you see, is what you get. I offer a 30-day guaranteed refund if you are dissatisfied with your purchase. Funds returned when it is in my possesion and in the same condition as you received it.
