Real photo postcard studio photograph showing a man posing with the cutout of a beautiful young woman in a sun suit.   The man wears a jacket and cap while the cutout of the woman is posed beside him holding a large straw hat.


The "couple" is posed in front of a building entrance or doorway which serves as a simple backdrop for the photograph. The costumes and props indicate the image was created as a novelty or event related portrait rather than a formal studio likeness.


The reverse reads: “POST CARD” with AZO stamp box and divided layout. Handwritten inscriptions read: Pencil catalog notation reading “Colez” with number markings.
