This black and white half-tone postcard was published by John H. King of Birmingham, United Kingdon, in the Fortune series. The portraits are those of (centre) Mrs Harry K. Shaw, otherwise known as Evelyn Nesbit, flanked by (left) the architect Stanford White, and (right) Harry K. Shaw.
The postcard was issued in the wake of the sensational murder in New York of White by Shaw for the former’s ‘violation’ of his wife, Evelyn, who had been an artist’s model and show girl. She subsequently made eight filmsbetween 1914 and 1922, and died at the age of 82 on 18 January 1967.
