One postcard (no. 3) from a series of unknown length representing a woman dressed as a male officer in a braided uniform adapted for added raciness (tailored for maximum form fitting, sleeves removed to bare the arms). The officer kisses the hand of a seated woman wearing a braided dress designed to echo the uniform. The two wear matching boots. Corners somewhat worn.
