Real photo postcard showing two oriental women exhibiting small, clearly bound feet seated on a mat outdoors beside a brick building, with a small dog between them. Divided back with an AZO stamp box marking visible. Handwriting on the reverse is present but largely illegible. The scene is set in a sunlit yard or courtyard against a brick wall with an open doorway. One woman sits low to the ground in heavy layered clothing and leans forward with hands working close to the mat, as if repairing or sewing a dark textile spread out in front of them. The second woman sits cross-legged to the right, holding a light-colored item with a long strand or cord running across their lap. Both women show their small, clearly bound feet. A small dog sits on the mat between the two figures, facing toward the camera. Behind them, a wooden box or crate sits near the wall, and bare tree branches cast shadows across the bricks, adding strong diagonal lines to the composition. On the reverse, the postcard has the printed “POST CARD” layout with a vertical AZO “PLACE A STAMP HERE” box and faint pencil writing and numeric notes along the top edge. The reverse reads: AZO triangle stamp box ca 1904-1918. Handwritten inscriptions read: 2P3; 11/20/08; Eb.
