Description of the Photo:
This is a photograph used as a postcard and addressed to 'Mrs Elordieta' - aka Saturnina Elordieta nee Clemencot - at 41 Hurst St. 

The subject is unknown; she is holding an instrument that may be the traditionally Spanish mandoline, or (since it looks triangular) a balalaika. She is wearing a broad ribbon around her head, drop earrings, a white blouse with mutton-chop sleeves and a ruff at the neck, a bolero, and a long skirt, cinched at the waist.
