1930s candid snapshot. Private Collection.
What did this gentleman in fedora not know? How well the camera likes him? He seemed to know as much. Perhaps he didn’t know how well a lady liked him. ;)

Handsome Lucien
1940s Family picture.
This is in fact my cousin’s grandfather posing with his hands behind the back, Lucien Guillaume in a dapper suit. My cousin looks so much like him, and his name is Guillaume too.

Candid circa 1920. Private Collection.
Teen boys posing as robbers over the wall with real guns. The element of surprise is in their favor!

1920s Betty & “Kurlie” in front of tavern. Private Collection.
The note on the back says Aunt Betty / ‘Kurlie’ Buair. 1920’s
“Kurlie” with the cigar and flashy smile under the homburg was dressed to the nines!

The Free Lunch sign tells us these two were in front of (what used to be) a tavern. Since prohibition started January 16, 1920 this either was taken across the Canadian border or they were in the U.S, the sign is outdated and this is now a speakeasy!
Betty is simply dressed and seems a little nervous and camera shy checking out the street! By contrast “Kurlie” the peacock is all too eager to show off for the camera! Oh, and the spats! I’ll bet a whole American dollar this one was a character.
