5th Ave. Evelyn and George Steele on Easter Sunday 1933
Easter Sunday 1933 Evelyn and George Steele on 5th Ave. ACME press photo. Private Collection.
A gorgeous 7″ by 9″ original press photo of a dashing New York Society couple dressed to the nines on 5th Avenue. Everything about this picture is breathtaking; the large orchids on her lapel, the gent’s crisp evening suit complete with top hat and white gloves, the (Ford?) car to the left, the gothic iron gates, and the smiles! They were head turners, some men in the background watching them strutting away (watching *her* strutting away). These two look as if they were laughing half embarrassed, half flattered a reporter chose to take their picture. It looks like it had rained too. A beautiful moment captured on a photograph.
The Steeles close-up.
The back talks of an annual Easter Sunday ‘promenade’ on 5th Avenue. People would dress up and parade on the street. What a sight this must have been!

Circa 1915 studio photo of group in a car. RPPC. Private Collection.
Having your photo taken in a car was in vogue in the 1910s. This humorous picture of a group of eight young men and women trying to all fit on one is a nice example.

The 1920s ‘Swamp Jax’ gang packing heat
The ‘Swamp Jax’ gang of four. Snapshot. Private Collection.
These bad boys all swagger posing on the side of a road behind a car, with their guns prominently displayed, one just tucked into the pants. Don’t know if running into them was a good thing…Prohibition or not, bet they drank good. There was a brand of beer here in Dixieland called Jax. Bootleggers? :)

Roaring Twenties Keith and Elsie
Private Collection.
These two are enjoying an outing on a hot day, posing in front of what looks like a Ford car. Keith is wearing white knickerbocker trousers with a matching short sleeved shirt he rolled up further, and Elsie a very pretty flapper style long sleeved dress.
