Easter 1937. RPPC. Private Collection.
A cute RPPC of a little boy shaking his older brother’s hand on Easter day of 1937. The pose is unusual, with the steps as a prop, but it is a fun concept.

The Eavesdropping Two
1890s-1900s Cabinet card. Private Collection.
More ladies than gents on this beautiful cabinet card of what looks like three sisters and their brother with the light bowler. They’re posing in a fun and unusual way.
That or actors? I cleaned up and enhanced this one. The lady in front moved some and is a bit blurry, but ever-so-slightly.
The front and back are blank on white card stock.

1880s three brothers and their other
1880s three brothers and their other. Tintype. Private Collection.
These three brothers look very close in age, a pair of twins in the mix maybe? Maybe the two in straw boaters to the right. Note the chap to the front left who I think is the third brother, he’s wearing some nice looped buttons on his shirt, a short double tie and a light bowler. The whole look makes him look very ‘western sheriff’. The fourth man looks related too, same ears, same nose but of a darker complexion with different eyes. Maybe he was a cousin…or half brother. Ha! :)
No waistcoats on all four…Too hot for summertime.

A boy’s exciting day at the photographer’s studio
“I’d rather be doing something else”. Cabinet photo.Circa 1900. Private Collection.
First, look at this little cutie of a sister! Isn’t she just adorable smiling in her white dress and oversized bow in her hair? She’s standing on a chair to be at her older brother’s height, and he seems so thrilled to have his picture taken.

Beautiful Victorian teen sisters and their cute brother in a bowler
1880s teens. 1/6th plate tintype. Private Collection
This is one I acquired recently and there’s everything to love here; how the boy’s frock coat with the short bowler contrasts with the young girls’ elaborate Victorian fashion with the pleats and patterns. The details are amazing too, like the lace collar of the girl in the back and the feathered derby of the one in the front (I want it). The young ladies are all wearing their neatly brushed hair down.
Also, the two front girls are sitting high on the bench; they must be wearing bustle dresses.
These four most likely were brother and sisters who were close in age, or maybe fraternal twins with siblings, or perhaps siblings with cousins. One thing’s for certain, they were all very photogenic and made a gorgeous group portrait.
Some pictures make me want to stare for ages. This is one of those. I have it framed by my computer.
Here’s a CDV of the same era with another teen boy wearing a similar short bowler I find very stylish.
