Cross legged on low chair. Tintype. Private Collection.
This young gent with a hint of a smile looks relaxed on this low chair. It makes him look tall. I’m not sure what the backdrop is supposed to represent, maybe a fireplace. The checkered flower design to the right is a mystery, a creative wall decoration most likely.
“Mac” portrait. Private Collection.
Picture perfect “Mac” posing in three-quarter with the brilliantined hair. I’m in love with the grainy and thick paper of those period studio portraits, they are really beautiful in person.
Young man with book. Tintype. Private Collection.
This bright eyed assured young man is posing with a book in hands. He made sure the title shows, unfortunately it is unreadable! The book looks to be too thin to be a bible. I think he was a student or perhaps even, an author? I believe this tintype is from around the 1870s-80s. I got this one for a little above a measly dollar, a great find!
1920s-30s cabinet card of gentleman after the rain. Private Collection.
And the fact that this portrait was taken outside in a yard right after a rain. Those photographs always have a special glow to them.
