used antique RPPC – portrait of an older Irish woman with a lovely face – real photo postcard – stamp box mark Thomas Illingworth & Co T.I.C

Lovely antique real photo postcard (RPPC) featuring an older lady. She has a lovely soft face and a beaded dress with long beads to compliment.

A very faint embossed studio mark – so faint I only just noticed it now! Looks to say H.? Winter, Derry. I can't find the studio referenced online but looking at the lady's eyes there's no surprise to think she's Irish.

Matt eggshell finish, sepia brown colouring. Marked on the reverse 'best wishes, Xmas 1925'. Paper from Thomas Illingworth & Co, a London supplier with a date mark also to 1925.

Excellent condition – very well kept, only the tiniest of corner bumping.
