When Ole Johnson passed away at ninety-four years of age, it is likely that his family commissioned a photographer to produce this memorial cabinet card. Due to the commonality of the name Ole Johnson (especially in the North Central states where many Scandanvians settled) , research yielded no biographical information about the Mr. Johnson pictured in this photograph.

This vintage photograph features four lovely and beautifully dressed Japanese girls.Two of the girls are holding parasols and all four are wearing hair bows. The previous owner of the card shared some information about this image. I was told that the girls were students and dressed in Hakama style. Hakama are a type of traditional Japanese clothing. The Imperial Chinese court wore trousers during the Sui and Tang dynasties and the Japanese adopted this style in the sixth century. Hakama are tied to the waist and fall down to near the ankles. They are worn over a kimono. According to the previous owner this wardrobe was popular among students during the Meiji period (1868-1912) and Taisho period (1912-1926). This photograph was taken during either the latter Meiji era or sometime during the Taisho era. The photographer of this wonderful image is S. Noji and his studio was located in Fukui, Japan. The city is located on the coast of the Sea of Japan. This photograph measures about 8 1/2 ” x 6 1/2″. SOLD

This cabinet card portrait features a seated young woman holding a book with many pages. It is likely that the book is a bible. The woman appears to be in her teenage years. She is dressed well but not overly fancy. Note her lace collar and the multiple buttons on the front of her dress. This photograph is from the Chillman studio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Phillip E. Chillman’s obituary appears in the Bulletin of Photography (1915). Chillman died in 1915 at the age of 73. He was a pioneer of photography in Philadelphia. He opened his studio on Arch Street in the early 1860’s. He held many photography patents. During his 15 year retirement he took up and excelled at water coloring. His work was exhibited at Pennsylvania, New York City, and Boston exhibitions. An inscription on the reverse of this photograph indicates that it was taken in 1886. SOLD
This vintage real photo postcard features Spanish model, dancer, and stage and screen actress, Conchita Montenegro (1911-2007). Montenegro learned classical and Spanish dance as a child. She is remembered for revolutionizing Spanish Dance. She transitioned to dramatic acting and starred in a number of productions. By the time she reached 13 years of age, she was famous in Hollywood, France, and Germany. She started in Hollywood with a contract with Metro Goldwyn Mayer. She began her film career in Spanish language versions of MGM movies. She quickly moved into American movies and her fame grew. In 1931, she left MGM for Fox Films. That same year, while on the way to shoot “The Cisco Kid” in Tucson, Arizona; she and many of the film crew and actors were involved in a serious train crash (derailment). In 1931, Fox named three of it’s actresses as “Fox debutante stars” and vowed to do so annually. Montenero, Helen Mack, and Linda Watkins were in the first trio that Fox honored as most likely to achieve stardom. Fox was competing with “WAMPAS Baby Stars” in forming this group of future stars. At times, Montenegro would perform at premiers of new films. She was able to showcase her multi talents, including vaudeville acts, at these shows. The IMDb credits Montenegro with 39 film appearances between 1927 and 1944. She played Lola Montes in the 1944 biopic. This vintage postcard was published by Ross Verlag as part of a series (No.5932/1). Note the logo for Metro Goldwyn Mayer in the bottom right hand corner of the image. Since Montenegro worked for MGM around 1930, she must have been around 19 years old when this photograph was taken. This postcard is in very good condition (see scans).

The photographer of this cdv image is George Evans who operated a studio in Worcester, England. This cdv is in excellent condition (see scans).

A naval captain sits for his portrait at the studio of W. V. Amey in Portsmouth, Great Britain. I am uncertain about his rank. Perhaps a visitor to this page can provide helpful information to determine his rank and country of origin. Portsmouth was a significant naval port for centuries, including at the time of this photograph. The photographer advertises that his studio was patronized by the late Majesty Queen Victoria which confirms that the photograph was taken after 1901; the year of her death. This portrait cabinet card is in good condition (see scans).
