Woman on Porch

This photo is a picture postcard, purchased at an antique mall in Fayetteville, Franklin Co, PA. I purchased this post card because it made me chuckle.

On the back of the picture, this is written: "This was taken on the porch where we room with a camera I was sewing and a fellow came along and said let me take your picture I said aright and this is what is left of me - look how fat I am getting..." the last couple of words are illegible. It is written in pencil.
