Cyko photographic papers
Embossed into the right lower corner of this unsent, divided-back card is the name and address of the studio that created the card, suggesting an older card, since this used to be the norm with photographs before the turn of the 20th century. This is, however, a Real Photo Post Card developed on postcard backing by a later silver process using Cyko brand photographic papers made between 1906 and 1915. A man stands on a ladder picking an orange with the caption "I'll Eat Oranges for You - You Throw Snowballs For Me -." Beside him and leaning on the ladder is a woman with a basket of oranges. At the bottom is written "Mr and Mrs Burgsmirl," which is also written on the back. Other postcards from the same studio have other people posed differently against the same setting.
