THE CABINET CARD GALLERY

This cabinet card portrait features a pretty young woman holding a parasol over her left shoulder and a flower in her right hand. She appears to be in her teenage years. She is dressed beautifully. Her dress has a sailor-type style and emanates an aura of lightness. This photograph was taken by Karinger Ferenc. He was an active photographer between 1899 and 1910. He operated a studio in Pozsony, located in the Kingdom of Hungary. The territory is now predominately in Slovakia with only a small portion of the town still in Hungary. Note the town of Bazin is listed on the reverse of this photo. Bazin is the Hungarian name for the Slovaki named town of Pezinok. (SOLD)

This vintage photograph features an adorable Russian schoolgirl. She is wearing braids, a hairbow, and a beautiful smile. Note the five pointed star pin that she is wearing on the front of her dress. It is known as a “Little Octobrist” badge. This Soviet term made it’s apperance around 1923-1924. Originally, the term referred to children born in 1917, the year of the October revolution. As time passed, the term was utilized as the name of a youth organization for children between seven and nine years old. When children reached the age of nine, the Little Octobrists would join an organization named, “The Young Pioneers”. Groups of five Octobrists would be called “little stars” and they would be led by a Pioneer from the “Young Pioneers”. All of the octobrists would wear a ruby-colored five-pointed star badge. The badge had a portrait of Vladimir Lenin as a child. In the adult world, the Octobrist party was a liberal, reformist, constitutionalist political party in Imperial Russisa. It was moderately right wing and anti-revolutionary. I have been unable to determine when the Octobrist movement ended. This photograph appears to be from the 1970’s and I do not know if the youth movement was still active at that point in time. This photograph measures about 3 1/2″ x 6″ and is in very good condition (see scans). Note the crease in the top right hand corner of the border.

I need to temper my words in my description of this lovely vintage real photo postcard. The previous owner of this postcard had many Judaica postcards in their collection. They described this postcard as featuring a pretty young Jewish woman wearing a dress with a low neckline. Although there is no Hebrew writing on the reverse of this postcard, as well as no identification of a Jewish name of the subject, I held the likely assumption that the card came from an album or collection belonging to a Jewish family. It seemed like a relatively safe assumption until I noticed the logo on the bottom left hand corner of the front of the postcard. The logo includes a six-pointed Star of David. Preliminary research could not identify a postcard publisher that uses this logo. I can’t help but wonder if the Star of David logo is the reason why the previous owner identified the young woman subject of this postcard as being of the Jewish faith. Personally, I would not accept the logo as evidence of the religion of this woman. Did I mention that she has beautiful eyes? This postcard dates back to the very early 1900’s (c 1910’s). The postcard is in very good condition (see scans). SOLD

A young man wearing a three piece suit and bow tie, poses next to an American flag at an unidentified photo studio. This patriotic vintage real photo postcard has an AZO stamp box which indicates that the card dates back to sometime between 1910 and 1930. This postcard is in very good condition (see scans). SOLD

A pretty and well dressed young woman poses for her photograph at a studio in Berlin, Germany.This photograph was taken at the Wertheim studio located on Leipziger Street in Berlin, Germany. It is possible that the name Wertheim actually represents a photo studio in a department store. Wertheim was a large German department store chain which had four stores in Berlin. The chain’s most famous store, Leipziger Platz, was constructed in 1896. The store featured 83 elevators and an atrium with a glass roof. This young lady appears to like the “layered look”. She also seems to have a penchant for wearing jewelry. Note her necklace, two rings, and pin. She is wearing a wonderful hat and has a fur on her lap. I think that this young woman qualifies for the tile of “fashionista”. The message on the reverse of the postcard is dated 1915,  This vintage portrait postcard is in very good condition (see scans).
