Riding his horse on a winter day

Digitally enhanced RPPC. Private Collection.

The original is faded by time and has stains all over. I did see potential in it and I’m happy with the way this turned out. I must add I changed the height of his bowler and tweaked the shoulders of his coat.

In a bowler and warm overcoat, this gentleman is riding his mare in the winterish countryside. He’s all smile too, proudly posing with the animal. This picture was taken in the mid 1910s.

RPPC: AZO 1904-1918

The Thinker in his yard

By C.E. Ryan

Circa 1880-1900. Private Collection.

A wonderfully detailed CDV of a gentleman posing in a yard in front of a window. A gypsy table is by his side with a flower vase and a few books and notebooks on top. Let’s not forget the white lace curtains behind him, and the crocheted doily table topper! The composition was well thought out and comes out nice.

And this man has a very classically intellectual pose, his hand resting on the temple. I wonder what he was…a writer, a professor?

Detail after the cut.

Outdoors Jaunty cap wearing boy

By C.E. Ryan

Outdoors. 2.5″ x 3.5″ Private Collection.

An outdoor shot. He’s well dressed and seems to be hanging out at a park on a sunny day.

I estimate this one to be from the 20s or early 30s.

Photographer: unknown candid.
