Real photo postcard exaggeration shows a woman posed in a studio outdoor scene with a montaged image of an enormous fish suspended from a pole carried across her shoulders. Two children stand nearby, one holding a fishing rodswhile the large fish hangs prominently between them. The fish appears exceptionally large in proportion to the people in the photograph, suggesting either an composit exaggeration or a novelty image.



The group stands on a wooden walkway or dock with water and trees visible in the background. Clothing and hats worn by the men suggest an early twentieth century recreational fishing scene. The photograph appears to commemorate a dramatic fishing catch.
