The hue that the photo paper has taken looks good and similar to other Hoffmann postcards. The reverse also looks good. Not sure how the obverse of these were printed as I do not have one. I cannot tell by your photo but is the area in the bottom left around his name have lines or is superimposed over a lighter colored box?

I still think this one is good. Some of these portrait postcards had very good detail and others did not. If you look at other Hoffmann postcards like this, many have the subject’s name within a printed border or box. Not all of them look like this however including this one so it may be a different series from an earlier year.
