Studio photograph of a woman standing next to a likeness of a horse

It is part of the collection:

The photograph of an unrecognized woman, taken in a photographic studio, developed on Leonar photographic paper: dressed in a costume and a white shirt with a tie, the woman is standing by the likeness of a horse (made of papier-mâché? cardboard?). Reverse with traces of glue and the album sheet to which the photograph was glued; on the reverse a dedication in Yiddish, hardly legible:

For Sztejndench

for [...]

and also [...]

obvious for eternal memory

paneczek Lejzer

On the obverse there is damage to the layers of the photograph: scratches, especially in the bottom right corner and in the middle of the photograph (at the level of the photographed person's shoulder).

The photograph from a group of commemorative photographs taken by the Kacmans when they were fleeing from the Germans.
