Original early 20th-century real photo postcard (RPPC), dating to approximately circa 1907–1918, depicting a young woman posed in a staged Hawaiian / South Seas–style costume while holding and playing a ukulele.
The subject is seated before a backdrop of thatched palm fronds and wears a grass skirt, lei-style garland, and woven headband. The composition appears theatrical or studio-produced rather than ethnographic in nature, consistent with novelty and souvenir imagery popular in the United States during the early 1900s as Hawaiian-themed performance culture gained visibility on the mainland.
The postcard is unused, with a divided back printed “POST CARD” and “PLACE A STAMP HERE.” No publisher or photographer credit is present, as issued.
Condition:
Unused. Moderate toning to card stock with scattered surface spotting and light edge wear. Image remains clear with good contrast.
