Interesting artistic Real Photo Postcard by Jesse Tarbox Beals (December 23, 1870 – May 30, 1942). Beals was an American photographer, the first published female photojournalist in the United States, and the first female night photographer. She is best known for her freelance news photographs, particularly of the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, and portraits of places such as Bohemian Greenwich Village. Her trademarks were her self-...described "ability to hustle" and her tenacity in overcoming gender barriers in her profession. In 1905 Beals opened her studio on Sixth Avenue in New York City and continued to take on a variety of photograph assignments, ranging from shots of auto races and portraits of society figures, to her well-known photographs of Bohemian Greenwich Village and the New York slums. Over the years Beals also photographed several presidents and celebrities, including Presidents Coolidge, Hoover and Taft; Mark Twain; Edna St. Vincent Millay; and Emily Post.
