This cabinet card is absolutely special. Esteemed photographer, Victor (Viktor) Angerer (1839-1894) captures a lovely young girl in her beautiful traditional costume. She is holding a small fan and wearing a fantastic scarf and hairband. I am uncertain about what ethnicity is represented by the girl’s garb. Mr Angerer was a talented and famous photographer. The Austrian photographer was the brother of another highly respected photographer, Ludwig Angerer. Ludwig mentored his brother as a photographer and at one point, the two brothers were partners. Victor opened his own studio in Vienna (1862) and later opened two more. Their locations were Budapest, Hungary; and in the Spa town of Ischl, Austria. Images by Victor are more difficult to find than images by Ludwig. Victor took a number of photographs of the royal family. Perhaps this cabinet card is one of them. Laura Tomicek wrote a thesis about Victor Angerer during her studies at the University of Vienna. She describes him as an important photographer of the 19th century. She reports that he introduced a new photographic style during the last two decades of his life. He focussed on “street life”. That style is similar to “Street Photography” of today. Tomicek states that his photographs during that time “represent an important historical source” about public life in Vienna at the before the turn of the century. SOLD
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).

This carte de visite features a dapper young man wearing a corsage, derby hat, and a bit of a bewildered expression. Take note of his wand. I call it a wand for lack of a better description. One thinks of wands as being related to magic. However, not all wands are associated with magic. In fact, wands also are symbolic objects of power. The photographer of this cdv image is George Evans who operated a studio in Worcester, England. This cdv is in excellent condition (see scans).
