Women on Postcards | K Is for Karabanovo

Peasant Girl, by Filipp Malyavin (Фили́пп Маля́вин), 1910

Postcard sent by Eduard (Russia). As he explains on the back: "Karabanovo is a satellite city of Alexandrov. In the 19th century, it was famous for the cottons fabrics of merchants Baranov."


The stamp of the shawl the girl seems to wear was issued in 2012. The whole sheet is stunning (picture taken from here):
