This vintage sepia-toned studio real photo postcard features a family of three, posed together with formal yet warm expressions. The man, identified as “Pastor Fred Squire,” appears to be in his late 30s to early 40s. He is dressed in clerical attire, including a dark suit with a clerical collar, giving him a dignified and professional appearance. His expression is calm and approachable, reflecting a kind personality. His neatly combed hair adds to his composed look. The woman, identified as “Mrs. Squire,” sits beside her husband. She wears a dark dress with a white Peter Pan collar and a ribbon tie, reflecting the fashion of the era. Her short, styled hair frames her face elegantly. Her expression is soft and slightly reserved, hinting at a caring and supportive nature. The child, likely their daughter, sits between them, radiating joy with a cheerful smile. She wears a sailor-style dress with a large bow at the neckline, a popular children’s fashion in the early to mid-20th century. Her short, straight haircut adds to her youthful charm. The three are closely positioned, suggesting a strong family bond. The setting is a professional studio, evident from the even lighting and neutral background. The reverse side of the postcard indicates that it is “British Made”. Written in purple ink is the identification of the subjects: “Pastor & Mrs. Fred Squire & child.” The date “Sept 4th 1944” is also inscribed, likely marking the time the photo was taken or sent. SOLD
