Just what is going on?
A very unique tintype which went for gold. A crazy pose, handsome sitters. Can’t win them all.

Oh no, something landed on the sleeve of the sitting brother! No matter!
The standing one is classically dressed up with a long overcoat and leather gloves.The other is more casual with a dark turtleneck under his baggy suit.
This RPPC has the photographer info, something I wish I saw more often. Back of card after the cut.

And the man was a shoe craftsman. A coincidence after the cut.
Steamer train 4423 crew
RPPC. Private Collection
One of the workers is IDed on the back, the one to the left with the checkered cap and sunglasses (!): Pete Dobrzynski. He was the son of Polish immigrants, born in New York circa 1894. He had a wife, Sophie, and a daughter, Lavina (cute name). This photo is an AZO from between 1918-1930. I think this was taken circa 1920.
I love the composition with the front of the steamer locomotive in the background. While I love photos of dapper gents of the era in studio settings, I also love photos like this, of groups of workers posing together.
