These funny five decided to pose in women’s hats sitting on the grass. All except one with the white stetson. Oh, the large bonnet hanging low on the one to the far left!

Yet another Mr Handsome

RPPC portrait circa 1910.

Another portrait. I would have gotten the original but it’s too stained…a shame! A bit of Photoshop magic brought this chap back to life though. He’s got intense eyes.


The WWI era British sailor and his stylish brother

The sailor’s hat reads H.M.S ROCKET. His standing brother is beautifully dressed in an outdoorsy suit with corduroy riding trousers. Love the patterned waistcoat with the striped tie…He had style.

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.
