Swagger in the sun

1935 Snapshot. Private Collection.

1935 snapshot. Private Collection.

This one packs much style for a tiny photo that is only 1″ 1/2 x 2″.

This dashing gentleman is standing in the sun with his hands in the back, a white fedora hat with the black band tilted on his own tilted head. Match this with a randomly dotted tie and dark suit with the white pocket handkerchief.

On the back is a first name: Julia. His sweetheart? It looks like the man’s on a boat by a dock.


Prohibition? Say what again?

"Because I can." Private Collection.

“If my calculations are right, I shall be 100% drunk this fine evening.” 3″ x 3.5″ Private Collection.

I’m not exactly sure what this amused and dapper gent in evening wear is home distilling, but clear alcohol is never good! I think it was most likely moonshine. Drink up!


The kiss

Caught! Personal Collection

Caught! Private Collection

An endearing sepia photo of a couple caught kissing on a rainy evening. The man is wearing a trench coat and his woman a scarf over the head. This was taken in the 1940s, most likely.
