1909 Fraternity boy (?) from Brooklyn
1909 Fraternity boy (?) Private collection.
This one did not scan well. The process made the dark parts look like silver, so I toyed with it some. Does anyone out there know the pin he’s wearing? I’m guessing a fraternity by other examples I’ve seen.
An adult wrote the date on the back in pencil, then below it a toddler (I strongly assume) wrote it again, also in pencil. :)

‘Bowery Boy’
Bowery Boy. Private Collection.
This one feels special to me. This young man walked the streets my characters roam in their little universe. He has kind eyes, don’t you think? And he was right smack in the middle of the slums.

Unknown Sitter from Lima, NY
Anonymous from Lima N.Y. Private Collection
This CDV is probably from the early 1880s. Too bad we will never know the name of the sitter because he’s well worth remembering! Notice the diamond pattern of his tie and the triangle stud.
