Maybe if the date of the image of Sarah Bernhardt could be confirmed, that would help? I mean, the date the photo was taken? I know she died in 1923. I'm not familiar with the Standard Postcard Co. and their printing practices, but the missing imprint should also be considered a clue. Of what, I don't know!
