Couple riding bike. Noyer #2506. Cyanotype Postcard. Private Collection.
A drop dead gorgeous couple on a bike. I like how she has her arms encircling his neck. It made for an intimate and sweet pose.
I hope to find more pictures with these two together. So far no luck.
“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.
June 8, 1944. University of Missouri. Snapshot. Private Collection.
These two photographs are of the same pilot. The captions are annotations found on the back. We have dates and places. This pilot wrote everything but his name…On the first he’s at the helm of a single engine civilian airplane even though he’s wearing his uniform. I’ve tried to make out the model but can’t. On the second I see what looks like barracks behind him. Texas was the state for the USAAF to train during WWII. Well, at least we know he made it through!
August 3, 1945. Texas. “Crazy with the Heat”. Snapshot. Private Collection.
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!
Close-up of cabinet card portrait. Private Collection.
The card’s also a rarer shade of pink with dark pink lettering on the front. The back is plain except for the sitter’s written last name.
