1937 Wiesbaden Germany Girl Costume Hat Portrait Real Photo Postcard
ππππ¦ data-start=\"108\" data-end=\"568\">Charming German real photo postcard portrait depicting a young girl in elaborate costume dress seated in an elegant interior setting, likely prepared for a festival, theatrical event, carnival celebration, or family costume gathering. The outfit features a broad ruffled collar, decorative hat with floral trim, striped skirt, and period shoes and stockings, all strongly evocative of late Weimar or early Third Reich-era childrenβs formal costume photography.
The reverse bears a handwritten German inscription reading approximately: βUnser geliebtes Lieselchen maskenball im Kurhaus in Wiesbaden 1937,β identifying the child as βour beloved Lieselchenβ and referencing a masked ball or costume event at the Kurhaus in Wiesbaden. The Kurhaus Wiesbaden was among Germanyβs most celebrated spa and social venues, long associated with concerts, balls, elite gatherings, and civic festivities.
An especially appealing vernacular portrait combining prewar German social history, childhood costume culture, and elegant domestic interior photography. The softly focused photographic style and refined furnishings provide an excellent period atmosphere typical of privately produced European RPPC portraits of the 1930s.
A scarce and visually attractive survivor from prewar Wiesbaden, documenting German family life and childrenβs costume traditions shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War.
