Very charming.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how he managed to get hold of such a charming card when on active service.
ReplyDeleteDas Mädchen auf der Karte ist wunderschön. Es mutet seltsam an, das sie vermutlich schon lange verstorben ist, oder aber eine 100 jährige Greisin.
ReplyDeleteQuite a lovely image, a definite 'woman-child' quality to it, the girl looks far too mature/worldly for her years. The Bee family certainly had a thing for interesting female portraits, based on the cards you have posted.
