Jack Kingston. Photobooth. Private Collection.
This one must have hurt! But instead of taking away, a scar sometimes adds to the charm. Mr. Kingston has this twinkle in his eyes, and the looks of a crooner. Sing a song and watch them swoon!
Jack Kingston. Taken in Salina, Kansas. Jan. 11- 1939
Circa 1915 RPPC. Private Collection.
Doesn’t he look just perfectly proper? Mr. All-American, kind of like your clean-cut 50s stereotype, except this is the 10s. Nice eyes too -must be said.
The upper sleeves of his coat look a bit worn. Not sure if that’s the picture or not. The sleeves are creased as well as the pants.
RPPC: AZO 1904-1918
1890s-1900s Cabinet card. Private Collection.
The photographer set the camera at a low angle which is highly unusual, but it paid off and the portrait is gorgeous. This gentleman has very beautiful eyes drawing the viewer in. Loving the fat bowtie too.
Alas, no name or photographer logo…This one came from a dealer based in East Sussex, England. This fine sitter was most certainly British.
Plain dark green card with gold bevelled edges and plain back.
1890s cabinet card of priest. Private Collection.
A nice portrait of a priest from Manchester, New Hampshire. I’m tempted to say more but I’ll refrain. >:-)
The front is blank but the back is light pink with the busy but pretty photographer logo of the 1890s.
Photographer: S. Piper. 864 Elm St. Manchester. New Hampshire.
“I am your honey”. Private Collection.
This is just too cute of a picture. This handsome gent is being all cheeky holding his sign. I hope he gave this to the lady of his heart, wouldn’t you be all smile to receive something like this?
This is a tiny picture, 1″ 1/4 by 1″ 1/2. Maybe from a photo strip.
