cadets and suited men on porch. RPPC. Private Collection.
These American military school cadets are sitting on the steps of a (fraternity house?) front porch with other men, young and older, in civilian suits. I wonder who they were and what they were to each other. The man to the far right is holding a box camera with both hands.

Two buddies by the side of a path having fun looking at pictures of girls on a magazine…classic!
Leo Hahn with Miss Baker and Miss K. RPPC. Private Collection.
Leo with two lady friends IDed on the back. This photo was taken on the 9th or March 1910.
The dark dresses busily contrast so well with the young man’s sober suit. Miss Baker’s wearing a beautifully embroidered dress with a matching filigree necklace, and Miss K is wearing a square flap collar dress that seems to be sheer by the neck. Oh, and the big frou-frou hats with the fluffy feathers, a proper lady’s outfit isn’t complete without one of those!
I wonder if these women were dressed in mourning.
Leonard Hahn was from Montgomery, Kansas and was 25 years old when this photo was taken.

1900s Souvenir photo. RPPC. Private Collection.
A funny souvenir RPPC of a bespectacled man enjoying his ride atop an ostrich at the Cawston Ostrich Farm in California. The other’s reaching up to pet it. The man riding the bird is also carrying a 3a Kodak portable folding camera used to make RPPCs.
