Back note.

Here is what your man is doing continually, better come home and take care of him. Confidential – A friend.

Somebody got in trouble with the wifey! BFF Miss E. decided against signing her full name for fear of repercussions. Rat!

EXCHANGES

Mr. would like to exchange good mandolin for an umbrella.

You don’t say! A cute French postcard with the hand scratched rain effect. Love the hat and slim fitting overcoat.


Not a country folk like you!

Something uplifting now. Mr. Life of the Party is standing apart from his group, accessorized with a coat, top hat, cigar and cane. His buddies are laughing at his staged city boy cocky attitude (and I am too). Two women found it funny as well, but the four in the middle are more interested in taking a good picture of themselves!

Stereotypes were and always will be funny. This group seems to have had quite a good time on a sunny summer day. This picture was taken in Nebraska sometime in the 1910s.

Two gents claiming a kiss from the same lady. Don’t they look like twins? Kinky! And, hm, one of them is wearing a wedding ring! Forgot to take it off from the previous romantic photoshoot? ;)

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.
