A fine example of hand-tinting and documentation on a postcard. Note how the barber's entire work kit is proudly displayed at the bottom of the image, all of which fits into a leather satchel. The color balance of red, green and yellow is almost perfect across a diagonal, and reflects the additional effort that went into making a card like this marketable after the black and white postcard was received from printers in Luxembourg.
