Portrait of handsome gentleman. Cabinet photo. Private Collection.
I’m a sucker for beautiful eyes. ;)
Here’s another pretty on a cabinet photo circa 1900. And with the high collar and fat little bowtie. Yes, sir!

Easily the youngest sitter of my collection! I usually don’t collect this young but this gorgeous photograph grabbed me. I love this cabinet photo. It took a talented photographer to capture this toddler at the right moment and with an expression of intense focus!
Photographers of yesterday didn’t have the luxury of taking dozens of photographs to pick out the best one. This here was true artistry and this photo came out wonderfully. In fact, this is so well done it is easily postcard material. The photo is well protected too with two overlapping flaps. I’m guessing this was taken in the 1930s or 40s.

“Like this…yeeeah!” Private Collection.
Look at this one kicking back with his hands behind the head all smile! The choice of matte’s the best. I imagine the conversation prior to the shot had to go something like this:
Circa 1910
Isn’t this photo just gorgeous? The camera loved this couple and the setting was luscious -yes, luscious! Another shot of the same couple after the cut.
