A young girl sits on a chair, hands folded on her lap, and dreamily looks at the camera. Sitting alongside her is her trusty pug. Actually, the dog may not be that trusty because the dog is wearing a collar and chain insuring that he stays in range of the camera. The young girl is holding the dog’s leash. This photograph was taken at the Kottmann studio in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Edward Kottmann was a German born photographer who received his training at galleries in Philadelphia. He began working as a photographer in Altoona in about 1883. An advertisement announcing the sale of his gallery appears in Snap Shots (1908). SOLD
A man in western clothing, poses for his portrait along with his baby and dog. His arm is wrapped possessively around the back of the baby’s carriage. Lying in front of the man, is his loyal dog. The dog looks like a Labrador Retriever, but the previous owner of this cabinet card suggested that it resembles a New Foundland. This image is charming and warm. Where is this gentleman’s wife? Did she die in childbirth or by disease? Is she camera shy?. The answer, of course, is unknown. The photographer of this image is O. E. Flaten. Flaten’s studio was in Halstad, Minnesota. He produced a number of interesting photographic portraits of people living in the western United States. (SOLD)
This vintage real photo postcard features Uncle Tom Cobley and his collie dog. Uncle Tom is sitting is a chair and appears to be imbibing a large mug of beer. He has a suitcase at his feet and a cane leaning against the arm of his chair. His cute dog obediently lies on the floor next to him. Research reveals that the phrase “Uncle Tom Cobley and all” is used in Great Britain as a humorous way of saying “et al”. The phrase also indicates frustration at the large number of individuals on a list. The reference to “Uncle Tom Cobley” is derived from a devon folk song called “Widecombe Fair”. This postcard was published by A. L. Ruth of Ashburton, England. The card is slightly larger than a standard sized postcard. The postcard measures about 5 1/4 x 3 7/8 inches. SOLD
This cabinet card photograph features an adorable little boy posing next to a large dog. The boy is fashionably dressed. The dog appears to be some type of Retriever. Note the painted backdrop behind the boy and his dog. This photo was taken by G. M. Greene. His studio was located in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. George Miles Greene married Jennie Davidson in 1861. The couple were divorced in 1880. “The Photographic Times” printed an obituary for Greene in 1895. He passed away at age 65. It is noted that he had a “large practice” in Johnstown before the great flood of 1889. His studio was swept away and “carried down the raging Conemaugh River”. He built a new studio after the flood. In 1894 he sold the business to the Boston Art Company. Greene was forced to sell the business due to ill health. (SOLD)
