Photo Number Twelve


Is this gentleman wearing a boater hat?   I like her hat also...this is a post card.  On the back it says James Maude ( not James and Maude...could it be James Waude? Some of this penmanship sucks. )   In the spot where the stamp goes it says Artura.. four different ways to form the square for the stamp.   It says that it is from  Post Card Shop,  No. 7 Sixth Street, Minneapolis, Minn.   Penny Arcade, 110 W. Superior Street Duluth, Minn

I guess now I must research how to date a postcard.  Boater hats were popular from 1870 to 1900.
Thanks for visiting!   Stop by again! :)
 *** Update: Here is a view of the back of the postcard.  I finally got around to scanning it!  I found out that this postcard dates from 1908 to 1924 :)
