Female MP With Pistol Holding Prisoner 1918 World War 1 Real Photo Postcard

This vintage real photo postcard captures a staged hold-up scene, a common trope in early 20th-century popular culture. The individual in the long coat, possibly a woman in men's attire or a man in a theatrical costume, brandishes a pistol towards a man with raised hands, signifying surrender, while a third figure observes. Such dramatic poses were frequently enacted for personal snapshots during an era when photography was becoming more accessible for leisure and creative expression.
