Maybe, but RPPCs did not become affordable and mainstream until 1907.
“In 1907 Kodak created a service called “real photo postcards,” enabling people to make a postcard from any picture they took. Postage was a penny. People went nuts and now you can too: Harvey Tulcensky and Laetitia Wolff’s new book Real Photo Postcards (Princeton Architectural Press) showcases the phenomenon with a collection of bizarre and striking images (often with equally strange captions on the back)’

I , also, think yours is a later date because there is no message in the front of the postcard (even though there was space in the front, he crammed more writing in the back to fit his entire message). Out of habit, even after Congress passed the bill to allow writing in the back people still wrote messages in the front.
