| The majority of images in my collection are real photo postcards dating to the "Golden Age of Postcards." You'll find many more photos and postcards from these two decades at other pages on this site (linked below). | |

Cabinet card,
dated 5 May 1907 Studio: Heinr. Hester, Gothen. A. Information on the back is handwritten in German. From what I can decipher, this is Helene Thiele and Oscar Schmitz. I had to buy this because of his moustache. |

"Oh! Why do
they call me the Gibson Girl?" Postcard, copyright 1907 She has the full regalia with the big hat, upswept hair, pouter pigeon blouse, and an hour-glass figure of sorts. The handwritten note on the side of the image reads "This looks like Kit." |

1910 Dec(?) 25 If this really was taken at Christmas, she must be in a warm climate. She stands with arms akimbo in a starched frilly dress as though she was forced to dress up for this special occasion. |
