Winnie and Harry: two peas in a pod

There must be some truth to the belief that happy couples start to look alike. This is Harry and Winnie Bowman, and don’t they look happy or what? They have this glimmer in their eyes. Two peas in a pod these two. Unless they were brother and sister, but I don’t see siblings posing this way.

The note on the back is sweet too. “To our loving little girl, from Winnie and Harry Bowman.” Addressed to Miss Eva Sloggy. Ontario. Wis.

Two gents claiming a kiss from the same lady. Don’t they look like twins? Kinky! And, hm, one of them is wearing a wedding ring! Forgot to take it off from the previous romantic photoshoot? ;)

The late 1910s, when the young generation dismissed their parents’ constraining coats and pants for more relaxed and comfortable wear.

1910s Postcard

A cute postcard of a gent who still manages to look dapper while falling on his back! It would have been funny to add a hat rolling away.


Five buddies, four women’s hats and a stetson

These funny five decided to pose in women’s hats sitting on the grass. All except one with the white stetson. Oh, the large bonnet hanging low on the one to the far left!
