An adorable little boy with a big bow tie poses with a ceramic dog and a toy rifle at the Goebel studio in St. Charles, Missouri. Rudolph Henry Goebel (1835-1923) was born in Germany and came to the United States in about 1856. Upon arrival, he quickly began his career as a daguerreotype artist in St. Charles. He married Emille Julia Dyer (1836-1912) who was also an immigrant from Germany. The couple had six children. Goebel continued to work as a photographer according to census data. In the late 1870’s, Goebel began working as a travelling photographer in area around St. Charles. He did both scenic views as well as portraits. He also worked as a school photographer in St. Charles. He retired sometime between 1915 and 1920. A photograph of, and photographs by Goebel can be seen at the Missouri History Museum. This cabinet card portrait is in good condition (see scans).

This vintage postcard features a well armed soldier ready for battle. He is wearing an ammunition belt and at least a couple of hand grenades. He also has a rifle although only the barrel of the gun is visible. What nation is this warrior fighting for? Who is he fighting against? I wish I had answers. An inscription on the reverse of the photo indicates that the soldier is the Commandant (Commander) of his unit. The year that this photo was taken, according to the inscription is 1942. I believe, though not very confidently, that the language on the reverse of the photo is Greek. Perhaps this is a Greek or Turkish officer. This photograph was trimmed from a postcard. It measures about 2″ x 3″ and is in very good condition.
