Deborah Lundbech's photos

My new desktop picture and my very favorite Bernie meme from the countless ones created from the inauguration photo. He is the best - love him!! The original photograph is called "Lunch Atop A Skyscraper " and was taken by an unknown photographer as a publicity shot in 1932. If anyone knows who did the Bernie tweak, I'd love to credit her or him. The photographer that took the photo of Bernie is (I believe) an artist on Instagram named Birdie Hall.

Uploaded (Yay!) for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: "HANDS". Apparently, the children have been instructed to place their folded hands on the desk for the class picture. As in many of the vintage class photos, the teacher looks joyless and the kids look fearful. This is a photo, one of a group I bought from a local woman on Craiglist, Her Uncle is in the photo. I think he's the 2nd child back on the right. His name was Carlyle. This is in NY - possibly Brooklyn. Viewing large is much better for this one.

Brought forward, at Alan's suggestion, for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "ALREADY UPLOADED - ANYTHING GOES! Originally brought forward for the Vintage Photo Theme Park theme of "Flappers". The cloche hat seems to be figuring very prominently! Ivy's brother, Edwin (Charlie) Earp, emigrated to Australia in the early 1920's and this picture was sent out from England. This was sent to me by my second cousin in Australia, Erin Hobson (met online) along with many other wonderful photos. Ivy was my mother's first cousin.

Brought forward, at Alan's suggestion, for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "ALREADY UPLOADED - ANYTHING GOES! Found tintype in Bristol, Vermont, 2012.

Brought forward, at Alan's suggestion, for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "ALREADY UPLOADED - ANYTHING GOES! Found in an antique shop in Ferrisburgh, Vermont. No identifying information on the back.

Brought forward, at Alan's suggestion, for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "ALREADY UPLOADED - ANYTHING GOES! The nervous looking "baby" is holding a Teddy Bear. What is the maid holding? Found in South Burlington, Vermont. It's a small snapshot 21/4 by 31/4. I'm guessing this is between 1914 and 1920. I wish I could say there was an explanation on the back.

Brought forward, at Alan's suggestion, for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "ALREADY UPLOADED - ANYTHING GOES!" Fairfield, Connecticut. Christmas, 1967 From my 13 year old self and my current "Nana" self - I wish you all warm, happy holidays and a coming year of peace, contentment, and many new photo "finds."

Brought forward, at Alan's suggestion, for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "ALREADY UPLOADED - ANYTHING GOES!" Purchased in Middlebury, Vermont, about 1998. It came in a very pretty blue glass art deco frame but I had a relative I wanted to put in there so... out she came! I think the frame and the picture together were $8. Good deal. There are no identifying notes.

Brought forward, at Alan's suggestion, for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "ALREADY UPLOADED - ANYTHING GOES!" Purchased at Kennedy Brothers antique store in Vergennes, Vermont. Stamped on the back - Berkshire Studio, North Adams, Mass.

Brought forward, at Alan's suggestion, for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "ALREADY UPLOADED - ANYTHING GOES!" Choosing to ignore that ridiculous thing on her head. She looks slightly amused with the world and very composed and self-assured for one so young. Printed on the back: Poist (Feeser's Studio) 24 E. Middle Street Hanover, PA

Brought forward, at Alan's suggestion, for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "ALREADY UPLOADED - ANYTHING GOES!" Those tufts! What were they thinking? The poor baby was already as homely as they come. This is an example of a "hidden mother" photo as you can see the arm and hand curved around the baby but otherwise, apart for a glimpse of dress, she is hidden. Purchased in Vergennes, Vermont. There's a torn off two cent stamp on the back even though it's not a postcard. It looks like it might be a George Washington stamp. Assuming it was put on close to the time it was taken, what time frame is that?

Here's a bunch more "Three's A crowd" photos I pulled from my already scanned photos when Ipernity was down. I have a new laptop (yay!) and have not yet got the scanner part together - but these were all easily available! This is from an album given to me by a library patron. It's pretty blurry but still so sweet. Can anyone read what the magazine is? I can't make it out. [Pictorial Atlas?]

A different library patron gave me this one. Probably taken in Vermont. Written on the back: Hiland, Blanch, and Robert Stone

My husband's great grandmother, Mary King, her husband, (unknown) and (I think) her sister. Taken in front of Mary's son's house in Springfield, Vermont, 1930s or 40s.

Glass plate negative. That child certainly has a large head!

Found photo. No info.

Although almost four - as my mom's sister, Pearl, is pregnant with my cousin Heather. My cousin John and Uncle Les are sitting with her. Essex, England, 1949.
