The subject of this photograph is a very pretty woman, stylishly dressed and wearing a flowered hat at the photographic studio of A. M. Turnquist, located in either Hibbing or Eveleth, Minnesota. The woman appears quite natural and relaxed as she sits at a table with a potted plant in the background. What are those papers that she is holding? Is it possibly a script for a play, a magazine, or divorce documents? The answer is lost to time. A. M. Turnquist is more specifically, Axel M. Turnquist who was born in Sweden, and trained in photography in Duluth, Minnesota. He operated photographic studios in many Minnesota towns including Tower, Virginia, Eveleth, Hibbing, and Aurora. He worked as a photographer form the 1880’s through 1923. To view other photographs by Turnquist, click on category “Photographer: Turnquist”. (SOLD)

This vintage press photograph features a Native American woman and an actress named Ynez Seabury. The woman is wearing traditional clothing and a traditional hair style (in blossoms). The Native American woman is from the Hopi tribe. The pair were appearing in a play together. There were also other Hopi cast members. The play was called “His Blossom Bride”. Ynez Seabury (1907-1973) was an American actress who performed on the stage and in silent and early sound films. She was born in Oregon to parents who were both actors. She started her show business career as a child actor. She made her screen debut in D. W. Griffith’s, “The Miser’s Heart” (1911). The following year she appeared on Broadway. Many films followed. The IMDb reports that Seabury had 34 film credits. Her last feature film appearance was in a 1940 Cecil B. DeMille film.Seabury had dark features and as a result was often cast to play ethnic characters. A number of times she played Native American women. In 1928, she played a role in “His Blossom Bride”. This romantic drama premiered at the Mason Opera House in Los Angeles. Seabury played the Native American heroine but a number of Hopi tribesmen participated in the play. A popular online encyclopedia states that she was “revered” by the Hopis because she understood “their lives and ambitions”. The Hopi tribe lived primarily on the Hopi reservation located in Northeastern Arizona. This photograph was taken by J. C. Milligan. His name is embossed in the bottom right hand corner of the image.This photograph and caption appeared in at least one unidentified newspaper. (SOLD)
This striking vintage real photo postcard features a portrait of a young mother and father standing behind their little girl. The family is dressed for winter. The Gentleman is wearing a cap and holding an umbrella. Mom is wearing a scarf on her head and around her neck. The little girl is looking at the photographer and has an expression that says she is not sure of what is going on and she is not at all happy about being photographed. As stated earlier, there is something striking about this image. Perhaps it is because the family appears to be down and out. Their being a troubled family is certainly just my subjective perception. This photograph was taken by the Monroe & Armstrong studio, located in Cottage Grove, Oregon. The AZO stamp box reveals that the card dates back to sometime between 1904-1918. The postcard is in very good condition (see scans).

These vintage real photo postcards feature a pretty young woman wearing either a bathing suit or lingerie. I can’t distinguish between the two types of clothing. Perhaps I need to enroll in a class at Victoria’s Secret University to enhance my knowledge about such things. These are risque images for their era. The postcards were published in France by PC Paris, as part of a series (no. 2122). The P. C. logo is an abbreviation for Papeteries de Levallois-Clichy.
