RPPC. Private Collection.
I found this handsome teen while going through a pile of pictures and I can’t believe I didn’t post him sooner. So clean-cut, so proper. His folks surely gave their seal of approval. Alas, this boy with his whole future ahead of him is not identified.
That delicate flower patterned white tie he chose to wear that day is lovely.

Wag, wag, wag goes the tail. RPPC. 1900s. Private Collection.
This photograph makes me feel all fuzzy and warm. The puppy is loving its brand new daddy who’s holding it like the big baby it is. It posed front paw over the other, wagging its tail so fast the camera only got to catch the white end trail of it.
And the two ladies of the house watching from behind the window. Had this young gentleman just come from inside to get his new companion? It looks like it could have been a St. Bernard or a Bernese. No matter what breed, this was love at first sight for the both of them, and it shows.

Arthur Monk. RPPC. Private Collection.
Arthur’s eyes come through even in sepia. Beautiful!
This gentleman is IDed on the back of this real photo postcard, unfortunately there are too many Arthur Monks born in his time period to find out who he was. Too bad.

A particularly flashy smile on a tintype. Private Collection.
These two dapper gents in their 30s are posing in front of a cloudy and hilly backdrop all smile! The people with them must have said something really funny for them to look this entertained! This tintype seems late period, maybe around 1910. Their popularity dropped in the first decade of the 1900s, but they were still fairly common with travelling photographers until the 20s.
The glare is from a small bend in the middle reflecting the scanner light. Unfortunately many tintypes have such bends through decades of handling.
