George Trimbathe and his two babies. 1910s. RPPC. Private Collection.
Well, that escalated quickly. :) It was all fun and games until…I’m being cheeky but George looks a bit worn out!
This young father was obviously proud to pose with his two back-to-back bundles of joy. They’re so cute too. The boy’s sporting a mohawk. As long as mommy is around all is manageable.
IDed: George Trimbathe. Masury Station. Pennsylvania. Addressed to Miss Alice Smith.
RPPC: blank back
Photography trick. RPPC. Private Collection.
I think the shadow on the wall is due to the double exposure. I’m leaning toward it being a photography trick and not twins dressed exactly alike. Opinions welcome.
The back note says “All aboard for New York…”
This RPPC was posted on May 29, 1907 from Pennsylvania.

Kough & Leeper cabinet card portrait. Private Collection.
This very handsome gentleman from the 1880s is very smartly dressed. The striped tie is rather nice too.
No need to edit the contrast or erase scratches on this one. Like the timeless elegance of the sitter, this picture stood the test of time. The scalloped edges are golden too, truly a beautiful card which was kept in an album.
Photographer: Kough & Leeper. Fayette St. Uniontown, Pennsylvania.
