A very attractive and colourful modern postcard from The People's Republic of China. "Female parrot - Tzu-Yung discovered the beauty and feathers". There must be a story behind this image, but I am unable to find anything so far. Please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The following is an extract from the Wikipedia page for English actress and singer Marie Studholme:

"Marie Studholme (10 September 1872 (commonly misreported as 1875) – 10 March 1930), born Caroline Maria Lupton or Marion Lupton, was an English actress and singer known for her supporting and sometimes starring roles in Victorian and Edwardian musical comedy. Her attractive features made her one of the most popular postcard beauties of her day."

"She loved animals and was often photographed with them. Studholme reportedly charged a sixpence to autograph her postcards and gave the proceeds to animal and theatrical charities."
