Boy in profile. RPPC. Private Collection.
A pensive chiaroscuro portrait of a boy from the 1910’s most likely. I don’t remember seeing many profile pictures of men from the time.

A fashionable Edwardian gentleman
RPPC. Private collection.
A nice portrait of a gentleman from the 1900’s. He’s wearing a sack jacket with a white waistcoat, completing the put-together look with patterned socks, which stand out in this shot. To the modern eye, the pattern looks like can tabs!
What’s not to love? II
A Cocker Spaniel and his owner. 1910’s RPPC. Private Collection.
So sweet! This real photo postcard dates from the late 1910’s, this young gent in cap and dotted bowtie casually posing with his Cocker Spaniel companion, on the steps of a house’s front porch. He’s not looking at the camera but is posing like one would in a modern photoshoot!
This is the third photo in this collection of gents from the period with their beloved pets. The others are here and here.
On the Packard arcade studio car
Duo on prop Packard. Arcade studio RPPC. Click to enlarge. Private collection.
Another studio arcade real photo postcard to add to this collection. Photographers sometimes used real cars, but since Packards cost a fortune, the next best thing would have been to have one painted! These two caught my eye with their similar pose and expression. The dotted tie with the tweed cap of the gent in front is a nice combo too.

Unidentified in a bowtie
You’ve probably noticed I have not been posting as often lately. I assure you I am still as impassioned as I was when I first started this blog, but unfortunately life got in the way of my collecting. Without going into details it’s been a trying time, and I’m only now starting to see the end of the tunnel.
But fear not, this is only a temporary phase.
So, this is one of the RPPCs I got recently. Sometimes I think I have not much to say about some pictures I own, I just enjoy them for what they are.
RPPC: CYKO 1904-1920s.
