MAN AND TWO WOMEN POSE ON BOARD SHIP : ARTISTIC VERSO : BLACKPOOL, GREAT BRITAIN : CABINET CARD

This cabinet card of a man and two women posing aboard a ship, was photographed by D. Mitchell of Blackpool, Great Britain. The photographer, whose studio was located near a pier in the seaside city of Blackpool, utilized a relevant nautical theme. The backdrop is fantastic and the hanging rope held by the gentleman, and the ropes in front of the ladies, are a “great touch”. This is an unusual and fine use of background scenery and props. The South Pier was originally named the Victoria Pier. The pier opened in 1893 and served  vacation travelers to Blackpool. The subjects of this cabinet card image are likely tourists on holiday. Note the fantastic artwork on the reverse of the card. Wow! This portrait cabinet card has good clarity and is in very good condition (see scans).

PRETTY YOUNG WOMAN : ANTIQUE CHAIR : SNEAKERS : RPPC

This vintage real photo postcard features a pretty young woman sitting on an antique chair. Her shoes look like sneakers. This is possible because the first sneaker (running shoe) was invented in 1895. The young woman has bands around the cuffs of her sleeves which I imagine are meant to shorten the length of the sleeves. The woman appears to be in her teenage years. This divided back card dates back to around 1910. The postcard is in very good condition (see scans).
