Jack Kingston with the scarred cheek
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!
Jack Kingston. Taken in Salina, Kansas. Jan. 11- 1939
Mr. Perfect Catch
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
Mr. Dreamy Eyes with the bowtie
1890s-1900s Cabinet card. Private Collection.
The photographer set the camera at a low angle which is highly unusual, but it paid off and the portrait is gorgeous. This gentleman has very beautiful eyes drawing the viewer in. Loving the fat bowtie too.
Alas, no name or photographer logo…This one came from a dealer based in East Sussex, England. This fine sitter was most certainly British.
Plain dark green card with gold bevelled edges and plain back.
