Dr. Ricardo Fernández Romero wrote me concerning the inscription:
It is an adaptation of a popular expression or saying in Spanish, with comical tone. The meaning would be something like: “Now that you’ve asked for more I will give you plenty of it, more than you asked for, actually [three instead of just one more portion]”. The author of the writing is making a joke after the saying, since the original expression in Spanish uses the number 3, not the number 5, increasing the exaggeration implicit in the original saying. In other words, the joke from the part of the man in the photograph is about the idea of sending not just one picture of him, or three, but five, in case the correspondent would not have had enough with just one. It is written with a tone of sort of playful and not aggressive vanity. Literal translation of the writing on the postcard would be: Didn’t you want some broth? Here’s three, I mean, five cups for you.

Popular Mechanics Magazine 1928

"Five Photos in One Exposure
On the Atlantic City boardwalk a photographer makes use of a clever device for simultaneously producing five different views of the same subject on the same photo with only one exposure. The method is simple: Two large mirrors are placed together like the covers of a half-open book, with their reflecting surfaces facing each other. The angle formed by the mirrors is about 40°. A small triangular table is fitted into the space between the mirrors, and the subject to be photographed sits at the table facing the mirrors, which produces four reflections at a point a few feet behind the subject.
