Giving the pup a drink by the wagon. RPPC. Private Collection.
These three are hanging out by an untethered wagon, perhaps a father and his two sons. The bottles they’re holding look ‘dusty fresh’ from the cave; maybe this was the homemade kind of fizzy drink. The puppy on top of the metal milk jug survived and most likely went on the hunt for a fresh bowl of water right after. Ha!
“Oh! Break away.” Postcard. Private Collection.
The look and body language of the gent to the right is priceless! He’s so annoyed having to look at these two all lovey-dovey. The couple seems older too which makes this postcard even funnier!
1920s-1930s snapshot. Private Collection.
A slice of life on a picture! This laughing man is all well dressed in a three-piece with a boutonniere. Perhaps he was at a wedding and this low river bed nearby got more and more tempting as the hot day rolled by. Those stream and river beds are slippery too. With a hand in pocket and the other holding shoes, he left no room for a wrong step..!
For this day a humorous horizontal photo strip I digitally cut up of an American posing with a phone and two flags. Serious, then not so serious, then serious again!
1905 Mary with the umbrella. Postcard. Private Collection.
First of all, this isn’t Mary, more like Marc in a skirt and wig. This postcard got me in stitches. Wrong Mary is, on so many levels! The picture is only half of it, the text is priceless. The umbrella looks quite threatening too.
Photographer: Robert McCrum. 1905.
