1943 version of A Sailor’s Prayer. Postcard. Private Collection.
One of the few variations going around from the 20’s to the 60’s. I like this one especially, because of it being published during World War Two.

Why not a silk butterfly tie?
Teen with butterfly tie. RPPC. Private Collection.
Here this young man wore a silk tie with butterflies under what appears to be an opal or moonstone tie stack. Also the shirt has a nice front pleat below the low rounded collar. Sometimes I wish I could see these pictures in color. I bet the tie was a nice pop to the overall look.
RPPC: AZO 1904-1918.

You’ve probably noticed I have not been posting as often lately. I assure you I am still as impassioned as I was when I first started this blog, but unfortunately life got in the way of my collecting. Without going into details it’s been a trying time, and I’m only now starting to see the end of the tunnel.
But fear not, this is only a temporary phase.
So, this is one of the RPPCs I got recently. Sometimes I think I have not much to say about some pictures I own, I just enjoy them for what they are.
RPPC: CYKO 1904-1920s.
This Victorian Cupid
Cabinet card. Portland. Private Collection.
There are some pictures that attract me like a moth to a flame, and this is one of them.
This young man’s face and expression remind me of cherubs in classical paintings of the same period. He also reminds me of a very young Robert Frost.

This 1940’s U.S. Army Technician
1940’s U.S. army technician. Snapshot. Private Collection.
This American soldier posed all smile by a hill, some time in the 40’s but before 1948. During WW2 or after is unknown. Nothing written on the back either, but with the landscape and the sun on his back I think this candid came out pretty good!
