3/4/2014 12:50 PM Up until the 1930s, in the UK at any rate, it was standard practice for photographic studios to print photographs with the 'postcard' lines on the reverse. I have lots of this type of old family photographs.
4/15/2016 11:34 AM I suggest you post the back of the photo.
A beautiful and touching picture!
5/1/2016 6:18 AM When I saw this photo I immediatly thought: This is a bar-mitzva boy, whith his kippa and a Tanach with Rashi's comments (the book looks like that).
