This plain postcard back portrait shows a solid middle class family. Plain postcards means those with just one vertical and three or so horizontal lines on the right side with no other printed matter. We see those mostly in eastern and central Europe, mostly during the inter-War era. Zamość is a lovely Renaissance town in southeastern Poland near Lodz. There is some writing on the back, but we are not sure what it means. Hopefully Polish reades will translate it for us. We can date the image to the 1920s, primarily because of the mother's helmet-style hat. It is decorated with flowers. The father is a mustacheod man wearing a suuit and exhibiting solid beaering. The two children look to be about 3-8 yeras old. They are both dressed in white. The boy wears what might be called a sailor suit, in part because of his cap. The girl wears a plain white dress. We are not sure what to make of her headwear.
