FIVE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS : ANTIQUE TOOLS : DIRTY FACES : LAYING PIPE : 1911

This vintage occupational real photo postcard features five construction workers (laborers) posing in their work clothing. Note that two of the men are holding tools and that all but one of the men are wearing work gloves. A couple of the men have dirty faces from their labor. The men are posed in front of, what appears to be, a large pipe. Is the pipe the focus of their work? This card was postmarked in 1911. The postcard was sent to Chicago from El Paso, Texas. The card was produced by a private studio and is nearly certain to be “one of a kind”. This antique postcard is 111 years old and in fair condition. (See Scans).

FRAMER : PUSHING CART OF MATERIAL AND TOOLS : HAVANA, CUBA : PRESS PHOTO (1988)

This vintage press photo features an older Cuban worker pushing his work cart down the street in Havana, Cuba. The cart seems to contain tools and materials. A translation site could only tell me that the man worked with frames in homes. I am hypothesizing that he is a framer. A stamp on the photo’s reverse indicates that the photograph was taken in 1988 and belonged to “Bohemia Fotografia”. It is likely that this image was used by “Revista Bohemia”; Cuba’s oldest general consumer magazine. This photograph measures about 4 3/4″ x 7 1/8″ and is in excellent condition.

READY TO WORK IN EGHAM, ENGLAND (OCCUPATIONAL RPPC)

OCCUPATIONALOCCUPATIONAL 1 This vintage real photo postcard is quite unique. The photograph features a gentleman wearing a long apron. He is obviously dressed for work but for what kind of work? Is he a butcher, baker, or candlestick maker? Perhaps he is a physician or possibly a photographer? He is dressed well, wearing a nice vest and neck tie. He looks quite intense as he poses for his portrait at the E Worsely-Benison studio in Egham, England.  (SOLD)
