The International Girls are also refered to as The Cosmopolitian Girls. These women wear clothing native to their homeland. Schmnucker illustrates foliage in the background indigenous to each country, with a national emblem in the upper right corner. The English woman at left is wearing a black formal dress, gloves, and a tiara, suggesting royalty. She has an uncanny resemblance to Princess Diane even though this painting was created near the turn of the century. Schmucker submitted three illustrations of English women to the Detroit Publishing Company but they chose to print only this particular one. The word England appears on the published postcard and had to be transferred from another painting. The company utilized as many as seventeen full colors to print their high-quality chromolithographic cards, and each color was printed from a separate stone. This was a very labor-intensive process aa each stone had to be hand carved in precise register. The high cost of printing forced the company into receivership in 1924, and eventually bankruptcy in 1932.
