Real photo postcard showing a studio interior where a man works at an easel on a photographic or drawn portrait while a child looks on. Real photo process on postcard stock. No postmark is present; the reverse shows an AZO stamp box indicating the postcard format.


Visible details include the man seated side-on holding a brush at a vertical board, jars and brushes on a small work table, framed portraits and photographs hung on the walls, and a large circular mirror leaning behind. The child stands close to the easel with a bob haircut and dark coat, watching the work. Additional studio clutter appears in the background, including stacked items and a second framed image. The reverse includes a printed “POST CARD” layout and a handwritten header identifying the activity as photo retouching.


The reverse reads: “POST CARD” with “CORRESPONDENCE HERE” and “NAME AND ADDRESS HERE” and an “AZO” stamp box. Handwritten inscriptions read: “ARTISTS STUDIN” and “PHOTO RETOUCHING” (as written) plus additional pencil notations including “9/26/04” and a code-like word that is not fully legible.
