**Item Description:**
Up for sale is an incredibly rare, historically documented 1931 antique Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) studio portrait showcasing the intersection of the Armenian diaspora in Bulgaria. This listing includes FREE SHIPPING.
The front features a beautiful, clean black-and-white studio portrait of a mother holding her young toddler standing on the armrest of a wooden chair against a classic painted cloud backdrop.
**Key Features & Historical Provenance:**
- **Rare Armenian Photographer Stamp:** The lower right corner features a distinct purple ink stamp reading: *"Фото 'Идеалъ' П. Харутюнянъ Пловдивъ"* (Photo "Ideal" - P. Harutyunyan, Plovdiv). This documents the work of a prominent ethnic Armenian professional photographer operating in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
- **Handwritten Armenian Script:** The reverse side features clear handwriting in Armenian script. It contains a personal family keepsake dedication addressed to the same circle seen throughout this collection: *"Օրիորդ..."* (Miss Arman...).
- **Exact Historical Date:** The card is hand-dated *"1/VII 1931 г."* (July 1, 1931), anchoring it perfectly to the interwar period.
- **Condition:** Please review the high-resolution images carefully. The photograph possesses exceptional clarity, strong contrast, and preserved detail. The card exhibits light edge/corner softening, an authentic minor corner bend/crease at the top left, and natural age-toning/foxing on the back consistent with its age.
**Shipping Policy:**
- **FREE SHIPPING:** This item ships to you completely free of charge. It will be packaged safely inside a protective sleeve and a rigid cardboard photo mailer to prevent bending during transit.
