1911 Chicago Ferrotype MANDELETTE Postcard - Black Americana - BUTCHER*Lady*Dog

Description

Antique MANDELETTE (RPPC)
Black Americana: Butcher, Woman, Dog
This is a RPPC MANDELETTE postcard. “Copyright 1911By The Chicago Ferrotype Co.” The stamp area says: MANDEL’S Positive Process, No Negatives.”
This RARE postcard has a dark black gloss finish, unlike RPPC’s that are matt. It is also smaller—3”x4.”
The (lightened) photo shows a black couple. The man has a cap that says PAINT on it; wears a butcher’s apron and is holding a knife and sharpener. The black woman is holding an iron. There is a spaniel (“OLD BESS”) sitting on a ROLLED OATS wood crate. They have a tree behind them, so it was taken outside.
(I included a 2nd similar postcard for sale separately in the pictures because the hand
writing on the back names the dog.)
It has 1 top corner that is slightly bumped, and lower edge has a tiny 1/16 area where the finish didn’t go to the edge (original).
Otherwise, it is in very good condition.
This is an original twentieth century African American postcard.  It features the Jocular
Jinks of Kornelia Kinks. Copyright 1907, by the H-O Company, Buffalo, N.Y.
