Detroit Bride – 1910s or very early 1920s

This undated photo of a Detroit bride and her attendant is printed on an Artura real photo postcard (RPPC) attributed to Ziawinski Studio. Brothers Feliks and Joseph Ziawinski were portrait photographers primarily serving Detroit’s growing Polish American community in the early 1900s. Feliks Ziawinski passed away in 1923 at age 41 and the Artura imprint was discontinued by Kodak in 1924, so this photograph may date from the 1910s or very early 20s. Younger brother, Joseph, continued the family photography business and moved to another location on Michigan Avenue after his brother’s death.

The printed information on the back of the card is partially obscured by black scrapbook backing paper adhered to it. What is legible reads - Ziawinski 1652 Michigan Ave., Detroit, Michigan
