SEVEN YOUNG WOMEN IN A STUDIO AUTOMOBILE : FASHION : GLAMOUR : RPPC 1919

This vintage real photo postcard features seven young women who appear to be having fun as they pose for their portrait as they sit in a faux automobile at an unidentified photo studio. These women are likely a group of friends. They are very fashionable and glamourous. It is curious that six of the seven women are wearing hats while the seventh appears to either be a non conformist, or left hers at home. Take note of the only woman that is wearing a white outfit. She has a wonderful playful “cat ate the canary” expression. A close-up photo of the vivacious young lady has been provided.  SOLD

MANHASSET, LONG ISLAND : ROSLYN : BIRDS EYE VIEW RAILROAD BRIDGE : RPPC : 1909

This vintage postcard features a birds eye view of Manhasset Hollow. The photo was taken from a Railroad Bridge. The town of Manhasset is a bedroom community of New York City. The town is located on Long Island. Unlike the photograph seen on this postcard, Manhasset, today, is a very well developed suburban community. Though it is unconfirmed, it is my belief that the railway bridge mentioned on this postcard is the “Manhasset Viaduct”. The Port Washington Branch of the Long Island Rail Road utilizes this bridge. The bridge was completed in 1898. The span crosses over Manhasset Bay. The bridge has an average height of 81 feet above the water and measures is 679 feet long. In 1913, the tracks were electrified. The Carnegie Steel Company was one of the builders of this bridge. This postcard was published by Hyde & Hults. The firm was located in Port Washington, Long Island, New York. This card was postmarked in the town of Roslyn, Long Island, in 1909. SOLD
