Detail of vignette RPPC. Private Collection.
In an effort to look serious this pretty one in a nailhead patterned suit came out a bit broody under the tilted hat! Still a cutie!
This RPPC vignette is on the left half of the card, leaving enough space for messages to the right.
RPPC: PMO. Photo taken between 1907-1915
Success! Private Collection.
Handsome Paul knew how to pose! Instead of looking right into the camera he’s staring off giving his best angle. This was most likely taken in the 1930s or early 40s, looking at the sharp point of the collar and lapel style. This photo offers a nice close-up view of what a straw boater looks like, and it is super nice with the double band detail.
Circa late 1860s. Private Collection.
A stern gentleman with an Irish surname staying in Switzerland in the late 1860s, when it began to be fashionable to cut your hair shorter and slick it back.
Circa 1910s-1920s. Private collection
Vignette RPPC of a young man from Petoskey Michigan. He’s wearing a tilted Gatsby cap highly popular in the twenties he lightly placed over his well combed hair. He’s also wearing a raised round stud on his tie. Once again, no name. What a shame. With that cute smile he must have been popular with the ladies!
The whole RPPC after the cut.
