This vintage postcard from 1910 features a historic image of a bare-chested woman labelled "Dyak Woman", captured by G.R.Lambert. The postcard is a rare and collectible piece, depicting a glimpse of the cultural attire and customs from the early 1900s. Interestingly, this postcard comes with a fascinating background as by the 1900s, there were reports in Singapore of sellers and private distributors of postcards who had been charged with possessing obscene materials in the form of picture postcards. In 1927, the Johor police seized a collection of postcards, "mostly of naked women", which two men had attempted to sneak. This postcard is not only a collector's item but also holds a significant historical narrative. Add this unique piece to your philatelic collection and own a piece of intriguing history.
