Bather in a Striped Swimsuit with a White Sash – Vintage Postcard, Römmler & Jonas
Details
A barefoot bather in a striped bathing costume poses between rustic wooden railings against a seaside backdrop. A long white sash is tied at her waist, and a large light-coloured bow adorns her hair. Waves and a beach cabin complete the background of this vertical portrait.
The divided reverse bears the printed credit “Römmler & Jonas, Dresden” and the series reference “Ser. 913 T, 7”. The postcard has a handwritten address in Ghent, a short pencil greeting and a green Belgian 1-centime stamp with a postal cancellation.
This original vintage postcard shows age toning, scattered spots, light surface abrasions and wear to the edges and corners. Small areas of surface loss are visible along the edges and near the bottom of the picture. The reverse also shows age-related marks and light staining. Please examine both scans, which show the actual card offered for sale.
A collectible postcard for those interested in historical bathing costumes, striped seaside fashion and vintage portrait imagery.
