“Mac” portrait. Private Collection.
Picture perfect “Mac” posing in three-quarter with the brilliantined hair. I’m in love with the grainy and thick paper of those period studio portraits, they are really beautiful in person.

Endearingly interested
An endearing expression. Cabinet photo circa 1900. Private Collection.
This young man’s expression is so cute, cute, cute. And his bowtie is crooked. He wants to smile, yet he looks like he’s checking out something or is interested in the process.
This picture portrait came out wonderfully, didn’t it?

A tall German student with book. Card with sleeve and envelope
Detail of student by Albert Eisele. Cabinet photo/CDV. Private Collection.
I am thrilled to add this card to my collection. It feels like a CDV but the dimensions are narrower and longer (2″ x 5″), and best of all, it came with the original sleeve and envelope, something which is quite rare to find. And it doesn’t hurt that this is a looker!

“I’d rather be doing something else”. Cabinet photo.Circa 1900. Private Collection.
First, look at this little cutie of a sister! Isn’t she just adorable smiling in her white dress and oversized bow in her hair? She’s standing on a chair to be at her older brother’s height, and he seems so thrilled to have his picture taken.

Mr. I Look Quite All right in a Fedora
Cabinet photo. Private Collection.
This stylish 1930s-40s gentleman with the piercing stare must have left a long trail of admirers in his path. And that is why he’s in my collection. He’d look good without the fedora on, but the hat adds that something extra.
My first star crush was Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. I’ve been appreciative of the hat ever since. ;)
