The Brooklynite dandy

By C.E. Ryan

Enhanced RPPC. Private collection.

1900s-1910s RPPC. Private collection.

This sophisticated New Yorker posed all smile in a slim fitting coat with a black cane in hand, the other hand in the coat pocket. The striped shirt adds a bit of pattern to the overall crisp look. A very classy and artistic portrait. No busy backdrop. Just him and it works.

Photographer: Strauss Studio. Brooklyn. New York.

RPPC: AZO 1904-1918

Great smile and another one of your “chaps” with a certain twinkle, there seems to be a theme ;-)

  You noticed? Ha ha! I was told I collect a very specific type. I like to see smiles on pictures. It goes against the notion nobody ever did :)

    Yes, he would look quite full of himself if he didn’t put on that smile!
