The Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) above was mailed to Addie L. Spaford in Fairfield, Connecticut  from the Watch Hill Station Post Office on August 22, 1907.  The stamp is the 1 Cent Jamestown Expedition (Captain James Smith) Issue of April 26, 1907 (Listed as $8.00 on cover), Scott Nr. 328.

The Watch Hill Post Office, (Westerly Township, Washington County) was established on January 24, 1871 under Postmaster William H. Chapman. The Post Office became a station of the Westerly Post Office on June 30, 1902 and is currently in operation.

The photo on the post card depicts typical dress of the period. I love the straw hats!
