This vintage real photo postcard features a beautiful young girl wearing a frilly dress and adorned with flowers. The postcard was published by Rotophot (RPH) as part of a series (S-917/2).

This color tinted vintage real photo postcard features a barefoot adorable little girl and her white cat that she is carrying in a cloth bag. She is also carrying a bouquet of flowers and has a basket on her back. The model seen in this postcard photo is most likely, Hani Reinwald, sister of popular postcard model, Grete Reinwald. Both girls became stage and film actresses. I own another postcard from the same series as this postcard. That postcard is postmarked 1913, indicating that this postcard also dates back to that year. This French postcard was published by Fauvette as part of a series (No.1319). SOLD
This vintage photograph features a pretty young girl. She is fashionably dressed. Note her high collar and the circle striped pattern of the collar and the top of her dress. She is wearing flowers pinned to her shoulder. She is likely in her early, or mid teenage years. The photo studio’s name and location are not identified. SOLD
This vintage photograph features an adorable little girl with long hair. She certainly is well dressed. The child is wearing a corsage and is holding a bunch of flowers. Her portrait was taken at the Cheney Studio in Oregon City, Oregon. Interest in photography must have been in the Cheney family genes. The web site “The Art of Historic Photos” reports that at least three siblings in the Cheney family worked as professional photographers. Eston Cheney and his sister Edith both had studios located in Oregon City. Sister Ethel was a partner with Bessie Krumm in a studio at McMinnville, Oregon. Eston operated his studio between 1895 and 1901. Another site, “The Historic Photo Archive” has a different version of the Cheney family history. Eston is reported to be the father of Edith and Ethel Cheney. The reason for there being (Chinese?) writing on the reverse of this photograph, is unknown. SOLD
This vintage real photo postcard features a photomontage style. The image depicts a man and a woman posed in a romantic embrace. The man is dressed in a formal suit with slicked-back hair, kissing the woman’s temple. The woman, likely a bride, is wearing a glamorous flapper-era wedding outfit, complete with a headpiece and veil, holding a bouquet of flowers (possibly lilies and other blooms). This portion of the photograph appears to represent a wedding or a romantic scene, symbolizing love and commitment. The second scene presents a young woman with styled hair, wearing a delicate lace-trimmed dress and a string of pearls. She is seated, leaning forward slightly, and gazing with a cheerful expression. Her makeup is characteristic of the 1920s or early 1930s, with dark lipstick and thinly styled eyebrows. There is an interesting cryptic message, written in French on the reverse of the postcard. A translation app states that the message reads “I am writing this little song to you because it will make you feel so sorry for me, all my tears. Dear friend, I wish you a happy birthday”. The note is signed “For Life”. This postcard was published by P. C. Paris as part of a series (No.3419). The sepia-toned photograph retains good contrast, with clear details of the subjects’ expressions, clothing, and background elements. SOLD
This cabinet card features a young child dressed in an elaborate outfit, including a lace trimmed dress and a distinctive bonnet-style hat adorned with a large, voluminous bow on the top. The child is standing amidst an arrangement of flowers, holding some in their hands. The background is a painted studio backdrop, designed to resemble a natural outdoor setting with trees and foliage. Although there is a photographer’s name below the image (Volquarts, Plymouth, Wisconsin), it is more likely that the photographer of this image is R. Shull of Chicago, Illinois. Shull’s advertising stamp can be seen on the reverse of this photograph. SOLD

Postcard 1 features German actress, Emily “Emmy” Wehlen (1887-1977). She was a Edwardian musical comedy and silent film actress. She retired from acting at a young age (early 30’s), Wehlen received her musical training at the Mannheim Conservatory. She then joined the Thalia-Theatre and performed in musical comedies in several German cities. She was then invited to London and was considered as a possible successor to Lily Elsie. Wehlen played the lead role in “The Merry Widow” (1909). Later that year she appeared in the hit musical “The Dollar Princess” which ran for 428 performances. Next stop was New York, where she appeared in four Broadway plays between 1911 and 1915. Shortly after her last Broadway appearance, Wehlen left the stage and pursued a film career. She appeared in over twenty films between 1915 and 1920. “Everybody’s Magazine (1911) reported that Wehlen was very pretty and very graceful. Her acting and voice were also praised. In addition, the article stated that “she has the indescribable charm of personality” and that audiences liked her and wanted her to never leave the stage during a production. Miss Wehlen’s photograph on this postcard was taken by celebrity studio, Foulsham & Banfield. The card was published by Rotary Photo as part of a series (no.11717H).
In Postcard 2, Wehlen is beautifully dressed for the portrait appearing on the postcard. She looks a bit clownish with her ruffled collar. There are flowers pinned to the front of her dress and she is wearing a jumbo feathered hat. She has a beautiful smile. The card was published by EAS as part of a series (no.1868/2). The firm was located in London and New York. The postcard was printed in Germany. Interestingly, the word “imperfect” is printed in two places on the front of the card. The word “chic” appears in the upper right hand corner of the image. Emmy Wehlen fits the bill. She is truly chic. The message on the postcard indicates that it was written in 1913. (SOLD)
Postcard 3 features Miss Wehlen’s photograph taken by celebrity studio, Dover Street Studios. The card was published by Rotary Photo as part of a series (no.11717E). The message on the card indicates that the sender hoped that this photo postcard was meant to be an addition to the recipient’s postcard collection. (SOLD)

This vintage real photo postcard features a very fashionable woman. She is wearing a large hat and an abundance of flowers on her jacket. She is holding something in her left hand. My guess is that the object being held is a purse. Her other hand rests on a pretty antique chair. The previous owner of this postcard reported that the woman’s name is Grace Watkins. The PMO stamp box on this card indicates that it was published some time between 1907 and 1915. This portrait postcard is in fair condition. Note the light crease on the top right and bottom left corner. There is also marking on the bottom left hand corner.(See Scans).

This wedding party photograph features a bride, a groom, a maid of honor, and a best man. There is of course a possibility that the four subjects are actually participating in a double wedding. Both women in this photograph are pretty and dressed in flapper attire. This indicates that the photograph was taken in the late 1910’s or the 1920’s. Each of the women has a bouquet of flowers and the men are both wearing boutonnieres. An interesting side note is that the seated man is resting his hand just above the seated woman’s knee. This an unusual sight in a photograph from this era. This is a folder style photograph. SOLD
