Group of Women in Costume Holding Masks. Two Real Photo Postcards, c. 1910-1920s. Two real photo postcards depicting a seated group of women in staged studio costume, shown in both front and reverse. The women wear matching draped garments and floral headpieces, each holding theatrical or masquerade-style face masks, suggesting a performance, pageant, or amateur theatrical production. The masks—held prominently at chest level—add a striking visual element and reinforce the staged, possibly allegorical nature of the scene. Verso with handwritten correspondence and AZO stamp boxes.
Condition
Minor wear, light creasing, and age toning consistent with use.
