Outdoors. 2.5″ x 3.5″ Private Collection.
An outdoor shot. He’s well dressed and seems to be hanging out at a park on a sunny day.
I estimate this one to be from the 20s or early 30s.
Photographer: unknown candid.
‘Bowery Boy’
Bowery Boy. Private Collection.
This one feels special to me. This young man walked the streets my characters roam in their little universe. He has kind eyes, don’t you think? And he was right smack in the middle of the slums.

Civil War era Mr. Talmage. Private Collection.
with the tax stamp.
“Yours, Truely [sic] F.W. Talmage” written in the back in tiny and beautiful (yet hard to read) cursives.
We can estimate this CDV to be from between 1864 and 1869 by the border style with one thick line, the other thin. Then we can narrow it down further to in-between 1864 and 1866 because during those two years the tax stamp helped fund the Civil War.

Andrew J. Kania
Andrew J. Kania. Circa 1930. Private Collection.
Center Street, Southington, was the site of Ideal Forging, his place of work.
The photograph that started it all. The first of my collection and a real photograph postcard, a common format to share with friends and acquaintances at the time. I did some research on Andrew Kania, thanks to a census and his military records. If you wish to know more about him, here is the info I left at Find A Grave.
