Cabinet photo circa 1900. Private Collection.
Maybe it’s just my impression but this good looking gent has a bit of a conceited expression. Maybe he was just trying to look regal. :) There’s no photographer info and no name. The actual cabinet photo is in terrible shape, but Photoshop helped give this otherwise forgotten gentleman’s portrait new life again.
Cyanotype French romantic postcard. Private Collection.
Another beautiful 20s romance cyanotype postcard, this one innocent and tame for a change.
Hannover CDV. Private Collection.
The round edge card’s back is mint green with simple lettering, dating it to around the 1880s most likely. The wide lapels look 1870-ish to me.
F. Wunder Sohn. Hannover.
4″ x 6″ 1930s portrait of boy with the tinted cheeks. Private Collection.
A beautiful large cabinet photo portrait of a bright looking boy with freckles. This picture came in a large mat protected by flaps. No photographer logo, unfortunately. I was not expecting to see hand tinted cheeks and lips on a portrait from the 30s but apparently it was still a feature photographers offered. His hair cut with the close cropped sides was very popular in his time, along with the pointy collar.
Staying late at the office. 1900s. Postcard. Private Collection.
Mixing business with pleasure? There’s much implied on this daring postcard. At least there are no wedding rings on display! Sometimes those Edwardians seem to be surprisingly forward with their sense of humor, and the determined smile on the brunette is scary!
