1930’s photobooth of handsome young man. Private Collection.
In a white dress shirt, he’s posing in three-quarter. I love the simplicity of this shot with a plain background and a plain shirt too. The subject’s beauty is the star of this photobooth.
Toward You
Vers Toi postcard. Private Collection.
A beautiful pink postcard of a (very young) French soldier reaching up to his beloved. This one was unposted.
Toward you, I always turn to like I turn to the sun
Of which bright rays, warm us the same.
Five boys, no girl
Five boys, no girl. Cabinet card. Private Collection.
I’m sure she would have liked to have a daughter too, but that wasn’t part of God’s plan now, was it?
The father looks mellow in comparison. I’m not sure what he’s holding in his hand. It looks like the back of a cabinet card.
The brothers don’t look far apart from each other. I like how the photographer arranged this family by height, taking the photo horizontally with a white backdrop and the parents in the middle.
Photographer: Clinkenbeard. Palace Photo Car. Blank back.
1920 Eddie Wilkinson of Los Angeles
2/27/20 Eddie Wilkinson. RPPC. Private Collection.
There are people who don’t write their info, and then there are some like Eddie here. He was thorough writing down his full name on both sides with his complete address. He wrote the picture’s date not once or twice, but three times!
An early photo strip
Private Collection.
A cute photo strip circa I’d say 1905-1910, of a curly haired gent having fun playing with the concept. The shots are oval which I find interesting. This one measures 1″ 1/4 by 4″.
