I've seen this card described as Art Deco and I suppose that it fits that description though the woman appears to be a Flapper Girl and I tend to favor that delineation more so than the first. Now the back of the card fits more in the Art Deco camp, though if I had to describe why I couldn't. The colors are a wash as well being that I am colorblind but I'll ask and get clarification. I assume that it is a blue and yellow motif.
All the perfunctory details aside I have no clue when the card was produced. Both the seller that I purchased it from on eBay and others state that it's from between the 1920s and '30s so I'll go with that. I wouldn't mind writing a continuing blog on the history of female jokers but I'm not sure if that will ever occur. Since I only have one other specimen of such it will be in short order.
