A very happy couple. RPPC. Private Collection.
There must be some truth to the belief that happy couples start to look alike. This is Harry and Winnie Bowman, and don’t they look happy or what? They have this glimmer in their eyes. Two peas in a pod these two. Unless they were brother and sister, but I don’t see siblings posing this way.
The note on the back is sweet too. “To our loving little girl, from Winnie and Harry Bowman.” Addressed to Miss Eva Sloggy. Ontario. Wis.

1920s Postcard. Private Collection.
Another tinted French postcard of a beautiful couple kissing. Can’t get enough of these! He’s got a well placed hand too, doesn’t he?
These sepia (but I’ll say peach) tinted real photo postcards are gorgeous, the color is soothing to the eye. The first of two smoking lovers breathes the 20s -pun. I look at it and hear Scott Joplin’s “Easy Winners”.
The second features the same man and the same woman but without her brunette wig (or she put on a blonde one, whichever). She’s wearing a different dress too, but the ring on her left hand is the same. The male model is wearing a different suit too.

A sizzling hot couple of French postcards showing a brunette man with the slicked back hair kissing on the chest of a gorgeous curly haired blonde girl. On the second one, we see that he’s wearing a military uniform.
What’s interesting is both postcards used the same photo session, yet they are not of the same company. I would very much like to discover who the talented photographer was.
I want to say this could be the same man as on the blue kiss postcard, not sure about the woman.
1920s ‘I Want You To Love Me’ postcard. Private Collection.
A sweet American postcard with an even sweeter, insistent missive written on the back.
The poor boy had it bad for ‘Mary Nelson’. The message was clear by his choice of postcard, and even clearer by the one-track message on the back. He lost his head and kept on repeating himself, wanting very much to see the object of his infatuation on Saturday or Sunday night.
Try to come down…try to come down…
I hope Miss Mary Nelson responded favorably! She probably shook her head at the spelling mistakes. :)
