THE SANFORD KIDS : JOHNSON CITY TEXAS : RPPC (1904-1918)

This vintage real photo postcard features two adorable siblings. Someone was kind enough to write their names on the reverse of the card. They inscribed the card many years ago. The AZO stamp box reveals that this postcard dates back to sometime between 1904 and 1918. The standing child is K. W. Sanford Jr. and the sitting child in Juennnette Sanford. I obtained this postcard in the Texas Hill Country (Johnson City). There is a reasonable chance that these children were from that area. This vintage portrait postcard is in very good condition (see scans).

POTRAIT OF AN AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILY STANDING IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE IN THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY

This vintage photograph offers a glimpse into Texas history and African American history in the Lone Star state. The image features an African American family posing for the camera while standing in front of their house. I found this photograph in Fredericksburg, Texas. The town is located in the Texas hill country and is very close to Johnson City, Texas, the boyhood home of former President Lyndon Baines Johnson. A tour of the area reveals similar houses still standing today. This photograph was very likely taken in that locale. The family seen in this image is composed of a father and mother, and their two sons. All four family members are dressed in their sunday best clothing and wearing hats. The family’s dog is included in the picture and even their cat makes a cameo appearance as it walks away from the front porch. This is truly an interesting and historic photograph.   (SOLD)
