Sepia postcard of three performers on a stage with a painted seaside backdrop; a woman holds a bundle, and a man in a white-collared costume crouches.

English Theatre Cottbus: performers before a seaside backdrop

A sepia photographic postcard shows a seated woman in a striped dress cradling a white bundle, beside a seated man in a dark suit resting his chin on his hand and a crouching man in dark costume with a white collar. Behind them a painted backdrop shows a pier and waves, and the caption reads 'ENGLISH THEATRE COTTBUS'.
