This page contains images of Salome from real-photo postcards. Most of them depict actresses who portrayed Salome in productions of the Oscar Wilde play around the early 1900s; I confess I haven't yet done much research to find out more details.

Also note that these are all photos that indicate "Salome" on the card (in one language or another). I also have a number of "look-like-Salomes" that I may add at another time.
You can click on most of the pictures to see a larger version.

though.
