Antique real photo postcard (RPPC) showing a young couple in a full-length studio portrait. The woman wears a long white dress with full sleeves and a lace-trimmed hem, with her hair swept up. The man stands beside her in a dark suit and vest with a white collar. Behind them is a painted studio backdrop of trees and a lake. It\'s a sepia-toned photograph with a cream border, from about the 1910s.
The back has the photographer\'s imprint: \"Richard Kautto, 811 Main St., Fitchburg, Mass.\" It has a divided back with \"Correspondence Here\" and \"Name and Address Here,\" a \"Post Card\" heading, and an AZO stamp box. The card was never mailed. There\'s no message, address, or postage.
