Real photo postcard showing three costumed performers posed in a studio setting, including a man holding a violin and two women holding tambourines.



The man wears a feathered hat and cape over a light shirt and dark trousers, standing between the two women. One woman wears a light blouse and skirt with a scarf or sash, while the other wears a patterned dress and holds her tambourine at chest height. A painted studio backdrop is visible behind them, and the postcard uses a German-language “Postkarte” back with ruled address lines and printed form fields.



The reverse reads: 250/5.
