FAMILY OF FIVE AND A ROLLING HOOP IN STRASBOURG, FRANCE (CABINET CARD)

strasbourg

A well dressed family of five pose for their portrait at Emile Lorson’s photographic studio in France. The business was located in the town of either Strasbourg or Schlettstadt (now known as Selestat). The father of this family is not pictured. Perhaps he is away or deceased. The family in the photograph includes a mother, three sons, and a daughter. The oldest boy is holding his mother’s arm while she is supporting her daughter’s position on the wall. The youngest boy is holding a toy rolling hoop. Note his high top shoes. An inscription on the reverse of the photograph states ” Uncle Michael’s 3 Boys”. I wonder why there is no mention of the little girl? Possibly, she did not survive to the point in time that the inscription was written. Once again, I ask, “Where is Uncle Michael”? The answers to my questions are lost to history.   SOLD

TWO BOYS AND A HOOP TOY IN ST. LOUIS MISSOURI (SHADES OF THE LITTLE RASCALS)

This cabinet card is an image of two street kids posing with their hoop toy. The boys have a mischievous expression and appearance reminiscent of the boys who were featured in the vintage television series, “The Little Rascals”. They are wearing wonderful caps. Caps like these must be the predecessors of the baseball cap seen on similar aged boy of today. The studio that produced this photograph was the Metropolitan Photo View Company of St. Louis, Missouri. No further information has been located about this studio or concerning the identity of the two “Our Gang” members. To see other photographs of turn of the century toys, click on the Cabinet Card Gallery category of “Toys”.
