Yet another Mr Handsome
RPPC portrait circa 1910.
Another portrait. I would have gotten the original but it’s too stained…a shame! A bit of Photoshop magic brought this chap back to life though. He’s got intense eyes.
Who needs a horse when you can ride an ostrich?
1900s Souvenir photo. RPPC. Private Collection.
A funny souvenir RPPC of a bespectacled man enjoying his ride atop an ostrich at the Cawston Ostrich Farm in California. The other’s reaching up to pet it. The man riding the bird is also carrying a 3a Kodak portable folding camera used to make RPPCs.

When East meets West
Indian man with Western one. Circa 1905. RPPC. Private Collection.
A British man in India? It looks like these two are standing on a dock in front of a cargo container. They may have been trading partners.

Hello, Fauxhawk!
Mr. Fauxhawk tintype. Private Collection.
Well, look at Mr. Handsome here with the goatee and hair style a good hundred years ahead of its time! He seems to have had the confident attitude to match his individual style. And the rose tinted cheeks soften up the whole look some, don’t they?
Random wiki factoid: the fauxhawk is known in the Hoxton and Shoreditch districts of London as the “Hoxton fin”.
