This vintage photograph features a portrait of a farm family. Pictured are likely a mother and father along with their two daughters. Also seen is a middle aged woman sitting side saddle on a donkey and holding a fancy hat. The women on the donkey is possibly the children’s grandmother. The family group is posed in front of a simple house. In the background is an out building. It looks like a barn. This photograph has many interesting features. Note that one child is holding a doll while the other child is holding her pet pug dog. The girls are wearing identical dresses and both have bows in their hair. The father is wearing suspenders and is holding a pipe. There is an antique chair near the house’s front door. Despite it’s poor condition, this photograph is rich in content and social history. The photo was purchased at a shop located in the Texas hill country. (SOLD)
A YOUNG BOY AND GIRL ATOP A DONKEY (1910-1930) RPPC
This vintage real photo postcard features a young boy and girl riding a donkey. Pardon my lack of equine knowledge; perhaps the donkey is actually a mule or burro. Both children are smiling and apparently having a good time. It is likely that the pair are siblings. The sister is riding side-saddle. I believe the donkey is actually a late donkey. It was not unusual to have subjects pose with a taxidermied animal for their studio photograph. The AZO stamp box on the reverse of this postcard indicates that it was published between 1910 and 1930. This vintage postcard has a crease in it’s lower right hand quadrant. It is in fair condition and priced accordingly. See Scans

YOUNG GIRL RIDES A STUDIO DONKEY WHILE SMILING MOM PROVIDES SUPPORT
This vintage real photo postcard features a young girl riding a donkey. The child does not seem particularly comfortable. Mom is standing close-by, and she offers a pretty smile for the photographer. I have labeled the beast of burden seen in this photo, a donkey, but I am aware that the animal may be a burro or mule. In addition, I am also cognizant of the fact that the donkey, or whatever it is, may be stuffed. The backdrop reveals that the photograph was taken in a photographer’s studio. I would imagine that most photographers would not be receptive about having a live donkey inside their studio. This photo postcard is of German origin and an inscription on the reverse of the card reveals that the photograph was taken in 1937. This vintage scallop edged postcard is in very good condition (see scans).
