Real photo postcard portrait of an unidentified man in theatrical or costume dress, posed holding a small cup and saucer. The front is titled “JOHNNIE GREEN.”



The figure wears a brimmed cap and layered costume with a light jacket over darker garments. His face is made up and he stands against a painted studio backdrop. The pose is staged and the title suggests a named character or act rather than an identified individual.



The front bears the printed text: JOHNNIE GREEN. The reverse reads: CORRESPONDENCE. ADDRESS ONLY. Handwritten inscriptions read: (handwritten message present; partly legible) Dear Mr Greene, Many thanks for your kind letter. I am sorry I cannot come on Saturday … I will do my best to come & see you … Hope all is well ….
