This vintage real photo postcard features a mother and daughter and a bench. Mom is sitting on and the little girl is standing on the bench. The child is directing an eerie stare at the photographer. Note 1) the child’s cute socks, 2) mom’s hat hanging on the armrest of the bench, and 3) the small pail on the bench in front of the little girl (there are roosters painted on the pail). I believe that this postcard is Hungarian based on a “google translate” search of the word “Kapta” which appears on the reverse of the card. This vintage postcard is in good condition (see scans).

Unfortunately, I can’t figure it out. Is this a photograph of a father and daughter or are the pair performers of the New York stage? The man looks dapper in his suit, top hat, and cane. The young girl is adorable and well dressed. Be sure to note her shoes/boots. The gentleman is very photogenic and certainly has the appearance of an actor. The photographer of this “enigmatic” portrait is Napoleon Sarony, the well known and highly respected celebrity photographer. Sarony photographed a large number of the actors and actresses appearing in New York theater. He was an eccentric man but very talented. A faded inscription on the reverse of the photo indicates that the photograph was taken in 1879. (SOLD)
A pretty woman poses for her portrait at the New Hamilton Art Gallery in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She looks quite fashionable in her dark dress and wonderful hat. The feathers on the hat are neatly divided into halves of black and white. She is wearing a necklace and is leaning on a high backed chair. She looks very pensive. Advertising on the reverse of the photograph reveals that the studio was located on the corner of Calhoun and Columbia Streets. In addition, the advertising lists the cost of cabinet cards as being 2 dollars per dozen. As an added marketing technique, the studio would do a free 25 dollar oil portrait for one of every thirty customers. Apparently the photographer who operated this studio was a creative marketer as well as a creative photographer. This cabinet card is in very good condition (see scans).
This cabinet card portrait features a pretty young woman wearing an interesting hat. I believe that it is a fur hat. Feathers on the hat as well as its shape make it quite stylish. The woman appears to be in her teenage years. The photographer of this photograph is the Allen Studio in Owego, New York. The town of Owego is located in south central New York. It is on the Susquehanna River. It is about 23 miles from Binghamton, New York. This cabinet card is in good condition (see scans).
Postcard collectors sometimes encounter photo postcards that heighten curiosity but defy explanation. This vintage real photo postcard is a perfect example of such a card. The image is comprised of five pretty young women wearing unusual hats. Perhaps I should say “bizarre” rather than “unusual”. I believe their hats are made of paper, although they are designed to look like feathers. Two of the hats have a design that includes a cr
This vintage real photo postcard features a pretty young woman wearing an eye catching hat. This photo is part of a series entitled “Fascinating Hats”. The photographer of this beautiful photograph is Regina Relang (1906-1989). She was an outstanding German fashion photographer. She was from a talented artistic family. Her father was the artist, Paul Lang-Kurz, an art professor at the Art Academy in Stuttgart. Her mother was a noted craftswoman, and one of her sisters was a photographer, while the other sister founded the jewelery workshop, Langani. Regina studied art in Stuttgart and Berlin. She graduated as an art teacher in 1932. She continued her studies with French painter Amedee Ozenfant. Regina taught herself photography. Between 1932 and 1939, she travelled through out Europe. She published photographic reports of her travels in 1936. Her fashion photographs appeared in French, English, and American magazines. These publications included Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. After the end of World War II, Relang moved to Munich. Twice a year, she published photographic reports on the fashion collections of Florence, Rome, Paris, and Berlin. She photographed the work of designers such as Christian Dior, Pierre Cardin, and Yves Saint Laurent. She was Germany’s leading fashion photographer of the 1950’s and 1960’s. Interestingly, in 1958, she took 8 of 12 cover photos for Madame Magazine. Much of Relang’s photographic work is in the Munich City Museum. This photograph is a reproduction.The original photograph was taken in 1962 and this french reproduction is from Nouvelles Images (1986). 
This cabinet card portrait features a very pretty young woman. Her hat compliments her appearance. She is likely in her teenage years. The photograph is a bit unusual in that the cabinet card provides a close-up view horizontally rather than the typical vertical perspective. The photographer of this image is A. Brauner, who operated a studio in Zagreb, Croatia. In terms of present day geography, Zagreb is the capital and the largest city in Croatia. (SOLD)

The postcard is dated 1913. The stamp box indicates the publisher was Cyko and the date of publication was sometime between 1904 and 1920. This vintage portrait postcard is in good condition (see scans). (SOLD)
