1920s French romantic postcard. P.C Paris #1721. Private Collection.
She’s holding a rose and he’s posing in evening wear. I love the softness of these tinted cards, they carry a sense of nostalgic romanticism that is not seen today. Dainty and sweet. And I love her watch.

Kurt and Herbert. RPPC. Private Collection.
A very crisp and clean RPPC of two smartly dressed kid brothers holding hats with the black visor. Apparently these were only popular with German boys and men at the time. The backdrop with the corinthian column gives this picture a luxurious, wealthy feel, and these two are posing like their adult counterparts.
I’m guessing this was taken around 1900-1905. They’re IDed on the back with the city of Berlin as their hometown. If anyone can make out the last name, here’s the back note:

Jack Kingston. Photobooth. Private Collection.
This one must have hurt! But instead of taking away, a scar sometimes adds to the charm. Mr. Kingston has this twinkle in his eyes, and the looks of a crooner. Sing a song and watch them swoon!

“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.

Circa 1915 RPPC. Private Collection.
Doesn’t he look just perfectly proper? Mr. All-American, kind of like your clean-cut 50s stereotype, except this is the 10s. Nice eyes too -must be said.
The upper sleeves of his coat look a bit worn. Not sure if that’s the picture or not. The sleeves are creased as well as the pants.
RPPC: AZO 1904-1918
