THREE MEN IN COSTUMES WITH ASIAN PARASOLS : BIZARRE VINTAGE SNAPSHOT PHOTO

This small vintage snapshot photograph measures 2½ inches by 3⅜ inches and offers a wonderfully quirky scene of three men posing indoors, apparently during some kind of playful or costume event. The three men are seated closely together on benches. All three are dressed in semi-formal or smart-casual clothing. The man on the left wears a suit jacket, tie, and slacks, topped off with a light-colored, wide-brimmed hat reminiscent of a pith helmet or safari hat. He has a pleasant, slightly amused expression on his face. The man in the middle, dressed in dark clothing, holds a small bouquet of artificial flowers and wears a whimsical hat cocked at an angle. His expression is earnest, almost deadpan, which adds to the surreal charm of the scene. The man on the right sports a tweed jacket, bow tie, and riding boots. He also wears a jaunty hat and is casually holding a pipe in one hand, looking slightly amused and relaxed. In the background, Asian-style paper parasols are hanging or propped against the wall, adding an even more unusual and festive element to the setting. The combination of the flowers, whimsical hats, parasols, and formal clothing creates a truly bizarre, humorous, and delightful scene, suggesting this may have been a themed party, costume event, or simply friends enjoying a bit of light-hearted fun. This delightful vintage snapshot likely dates to the late 1930s or early 1940s, based on clothing and photographic style. (SOLD)

PORTRAIT OF TWO AFFECTIONATE YOUNG GIRLS AT THE BEACH

TWO GIRLS BEACH

TWO GIRLS BEACH 1 Two young girls pose for a vintage snapshot photograph as they sit on the sand at the beach. One girl has her arm affectionately around the shoulder of the second girl. The recipient of the affection is displaying a sour expression. Are the girls sisters? Could they be close friends? The answer is lost to history. The girls names are written on the reverse of the photo. I can only decipher one of the names. It is “Ingrid”. A stamp on the reverse of the snapshot indicates that the photograph was developed in Dresden, Germany. Dresden is the second largest city in Saxony. It is situated on the banks of the River Elbe. It is near the border of the Czech Republic. There are beaches along the Elbe and perhaps this image captures one of them.  SOLD

PORTRAIT OF AN ADORABLE LITTLE GIRL DOING SCHOOLWORK

Screen Shot 2019-09-21 at 11.28.23 AM

The little girl seen in this photograph is absolutely adorable. The bow in her hair adds to her cuteness. She is wearing earrings and a ring. The youngster is bright eyed and appears quite studious. I believe the photograph is best described as a snapshot but I am not entirely certain. Perhaps labeling it a “vintage photograph” would suffice. It measures about 5 5/8″ x 3 7/8″. I had hoped that magnifying the calendar in this photo would provide the approximate date it was taken. Unfortunately, my efforts went unrewarded. Despite the uncertainties, this image is special.   SOLD

A UNIFORMED SOLDIER AND TWO LAMBS – A STUDY IN CONTRAST

lamb soldier

lamb soldier 2 A uniformed soldier sits against a fence and he is holding two adorable lambs on his lap. This is a study in contrast. A military warrior represents battle and lethality, while the young lambs represent peace and calm. Before anyone gets “up in arms”, I want to state that I know that soldiers can represent peace and protection. Note the soldier’s high boots. They appear to be for weather protection rather than for long marches.  SOLD

PORTRAIT OF A BESPECTACLED MOM, HER TWO CHILDREN, AND AN OLD CAR

A mother and her two children pose pose for a photograph in front of their house. Two cars can be seen in the background. The three family members are standing on a dirt driveway. Mom is dressed plainly. She is wearing glasses. The daughter appears to be wearing a dress that is too short. The little boy is possibly wearing pajamas. His hair is uncombed and he is barefoot. My guess is that the family had little time to prepare to be photographed as not much effort went into looking their best. This photograph was found in the Texas hill country.  (SOLD)
