5. Japanese Bath. This is a fine postcard/print showing a illustration of a woman stepping out of her bathtub. This Japanese tub style is neat to see, since American and British bathtubs dominate the Museum's postcard collection. The card is some kind of screen print with several layers of colors. Five characters run down the side. It is assumed this is Japanese by the style of illustration and the woman's "geisha" hair-do. Also of these postcards, it is the only one to reveal the female's breasts. The back of the postcard is blank. Not sure if it was intended to be a postcard, but it is the right size. No date. Probably 1930s or before.
