RPPC Postcard c1908 Woman Fashion Fur Muff Hat Baltimore Selby Studio Portrait

Baltimore, Maryland, USA1908RPPCGood

A striking studio portrait captures a fashionably dressed young woman standing confidently against a plain backdrop — her towering feathered hat and luxurious fur hand-muff speak to the height of Edwardian winter fashion, circa 1905–1910. Photographed at the well-known Selby Studio at 323 W. Lexington Street in Baltimore, Maryland, this real-photo postcard is a superb example of the portrait RPPC genre that flourished in the early 1900s, when commercial studios offered affordable keepsakes printed on postcard-back paper stock. The subject's tailored wool jacket and dark skirt beneath the muff reflect the silhouette of the period's Gibson Girl aesthetic — poised, self-assured, and impeccably turned out.
