1890’s-1900’s cabinet card. Private Collection.
This one gave me a chuckle. This gentleman looks like a deer in the headlights with his wide eyes. And with him looking partly off-shot, it gives the impression he just came into view and got caught off guard by his own reflection.
On a side note, yes it’s been a month since I last posted, to the day. I didn’t realize it’s been this long. Like everything else in life there are periods when I actively collect (and feverishly so!) and others when I don’t so much. However, the drought is soon to pass and I will be responding to emails today. ;)

He does rather look like the rabbit in the headlights, poor chap, a reluctant “sitter” perhaps
Ahh the credit card has been returned 😉 Looking forward to more cheeky chappies

I should exercise more restraint but I saw some really nice 1920’s cards and just couldn’t resist, unfortunately my PC is being repaired so I can’t scan and post them yet 😕

Stunned mullet is how we would describe this in Australia. Nice to see you posting, Caroline!

Thank you, Kate! I’m not always on a constant when I collect, it comes and goes. Sometimes I won’t see anything I’m interested in for a while.
