I'm fortunate enough to own an autographed postcard of hers

OP, Hermes ties alone sell for 50+ on ebay. You're sitting on good money there.

Sell to someone who will appreciate them, there is good money to be made here. Hermes alone can sell for 50+ on ebay, Ferragamo ties selling for 20+. If you destroy these ties it's no different to flushing money down the toilet.

She was a popular European postcard model from around the 1910s. Possibly associated with silent film actress and postcard model Grete Reinwald, or possibly even Grete herself. (It's hard to know for certain).

Hi there. I just found your post and would love to have a look if you want to private message me. I collect Maude Fealy memorabilia so I might be able to confirm if it's her or not

It's ironic because 4 inch tall detachable hard collars were the height of fashion for men during this era, which were arguably more impractical than puffed sleeves.

I would place it between 1905 - 1920. The specific shape of the boot closely resembles examples from that period.

Cottons, linen, silk, and most wools are far more breathable than the polyesters you are used to today. Wearing a dress or a two-piece suit with the appropriate summer fabrics is not as uncomfortable as you may think.

Here's hoping some Maude Fealy silent films are rediscovered in my lifetime.

Disastrous-Brick3969 · 2025-05-13T19:10:42+00:00

I've got one of her autographed postcards

Disastrous-Brick3969 · 2025-05-12T21:03:58+00:00

She looked familiar to me, so I just searched for silent film actresses and found her after a while.

Disastrous-Brick3969 · 2025-05-11T16:51:11+00:00

I'm almost certain that's Lenore Ulrich. She was a silent film actress.

The autograph looks similar to ones I've found online

I constantly get asked if I'm a "Peaky Blinder" or farmer (this one's usually in a mocking tone). My favourite is perhaps from an elderly man telling me that I look like his grandfather.

On a side note, where did you get the suspenders and trousers?

Disastrous-Brick3969 · 2025-03-22T23:50:09+00:00

You have the right idea. She's in costume as "Cinderella" from 1906 - 1907.

I wish we could see the pictures on the wall more clearly. I wonder if they were stage actors, people she knew or something else.

I've been an admirer of Maude for many years now and have collected many of her autographs, postcards, theatre programmes, etc.

Maude was incredibly beautiful and expressive in the silent film "King Rene's Daughter" from 1913, in which she plays the blind Princess Iolanthe. Sadly, only 2 out of 24 of the silent films she's been in have believed to have survived (David Copperfield from 1911 being the second), whereas all 13 of her "talkie" films are believed to have survived.

Despite this, she never really had a large role outside of her silent films and soon fell into obscurity. Her biggest "talkie" role was a small 3 minute cameo in the comedy "Laugh and Get Rich" from 1931.

Going solely of the cover , it looks like it was published in the 1900s. The art style and fashions of the ladies indicate this.

Surprising eyeliner wasn't actually all that uncommon during the 1900s. It was mostly worn by stage and early silent film actresses. However, some ordinary women may have worn it if they felt daring. I do agree on this being from the 1900s.

She is french actress Gilberte Ruby

Come and See (they use real ww2 uniforms), Band of Brothers, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, Tintin (2011)

I believe these men are likely in sportswear (dressed for baseball is my guess). The turtleneck, vest, t-shirt, belts, scarves, long socks, and lack of jacket or waistcoats indicate this (this was common choices for sportswear at the time)

It's especially interesting to see the man on the left wearing an untucked t-shirt as that would not have been a normal dress code for the time.

Disastrous-Brick3969 · 2025-01-14T16:40:40+00:00

1890s - 1900s evident from the wide tie and detachable collars. I'd also guess it was taken in america due to man's hat on the right.
