[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 71895, member: 201"]It looks like it's the original size. RPPCs are normally printed to the edge, without a border. Divided back postcards, which this is, weren't used until March 1907 so the card would have been printed after that. The photo might have been taken earlier, however. Looking online, I'm getting the feeling that the women's bathing suits were pre-1910. I agree with Lefton that whatever it says in the stamp area may help identify the printing process and/or printer, which could then help date the card.[/QUOTE]
