Up for sale is a compelling piece of early 20th-century local history and genealogy. This original Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) features a sepia-toned outdoor portrait of two young individuals (likely siblings or cousins) dressed in period winter clothing standing next to a house porch with detailed lattice work.
The back features a beautifully preserved handwritten cursive ink message addressed to a local Pennsylvania family. It offers a wonderful snapshot of early American family communication.
