1910s RPPC African American Woman Portrait Vernacular Photography AZO Black rare

1910s RPPC African American Woman Portrait Vernacular Photography AZO Black rare. Original real photo postcard (RPPC), circa 1910s-1920s, showing a striking portrait of a young African American woman standing against a wooden wall.

She wears a white dress, stockings, and a bold oversized bow, gazing directly at the camera with quiet confidence and poise. Her stance - one hand on her hip, the other at her side - radiates self-assurance, individuality, and grace. The setting and natural lighting emphasize the honest, unfiltered character of vernacular Black portraiture from the early 20th century.

Type: Real photo postcard (RPPC). Subject: Young African American woman, standing portrait. 3.5" x 5.5". Condition: Excellent tone and contrast; very light wear; unposted.

A compelling and uncommon early 20th-century portrait of African American self-representation, capturing both strength and individuality. These images of everyday life beyond the studio are increasingly scarce and valued by collectors of vernacular photography, African American history, and women's portraiture.
