This is a genuine Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) featuring a studio portrait of two young boys. The postcard was produced by the Moonlight Post Card Studio, located at 411 E Douglas, Wichita, KS, as indicated on the reverse. Handwritten inscriptions on the back identify the subjects as "this is Andrew," "Albert Walter Briley," and "Andrew Frankey Briley," making this a valuable piece for genealogy research related to the Briley family or Wichita, Kansas history.
The photograph itself is a sepia-toned studio portrait, characteristic of early 20th-century photography, capturing the formal attire and hairstyles of the era. The reverse side features the distinct "AZO" stamp box, with triangles pointing up-down-up-up (↑↓↑↑), a common mark for photographic paper used between approximately 1904 and 1918. The "PLACE A 1 CENT STAMP HERE" instruction further suggests a pre-1919 origin for domestic mail. This listing includes the single Real Photo Postcard as pictured, offering a tangible link to the past and a specific family lineage.
