2 PHOTO POSTCARDS OLD LADY WITH PRIESTS, FAMILY
The postally unused real photo postcards are in near mint condition. They show an old lady, clearly a widow, by her dress. In the first photo, she is flanked by two men in ministerial garb. The older one appears to be her son and the younger one, perhaps is his son. She is wearing spectacles and her eyes are open. In the second photo, the older man is dressed in street garb, although still wearing a clerical collar. The old lady is flanked now by a woman who appears to be her daughter-in-law and there is a young woman seated on the ground in front of her who is clearly her granddaughter. In this photo the old lady's eyes are closed and she seems to be dozing. Wouldn't you love to know the circumstances? The backs of the cards indicate an English origin.
