Found Photographs

Moved forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: YOUR MOST POPULAR VINTAGE PHOTO - Post one of your most viewed or liked vintage photos that you haven't previously added to the Vintage Photos Theme Park. She has a very sweet face, but I'm not quite sure why she has received so many views. Her "pudding basin hat" was popular around 1910, although her suit looks a little later than that, to me. 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!" Purchased at Kennedy Brothers antique store in Vergennes, Vermont. Stamped on the back - Berkshire Studio, North Adams, Mass.

Purchased at an antique store somewhere in Vermont. Her name is written on the back in faded copperplate along with the photographer's printed information - F. Clapsadel , Painesville, Ohio.

Purchased somewhere in Vermont.

One of my favorite found pictures. I got this in a second hand shop in Highams Park, London in 1974. Brought forward (late) for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "favorite photos." Even though this is an English family (I assume) it always reminded me of the American Jewish family from the Lower East Side in the children's book All-of -a -Kind Family by Sydney Taylor - a book I loved as a kid.

Found in an antique store in Brattleboro, Vermont in the late 1970's. Photographer identified as A.D. Nyatt, Brattleboro, Vt. Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "COZY ON A COLD DAY."

Purchased in Middlebury Vermont in an antique store about ten years ago. On the back it says "Baby La Fatte" Is that a real name? I purchased another one (next photo) with an identical frame but an older girl - perhaps this was a girl's school?

Purchased in Middlebury about ten years ago. Information the same as previous picture in my stream - except on the back she is identified as Ruth Russil ( Russell)?

That's what this picture always made me think of - maybe it looks like the real Alice that Lewis Carroll wrote for and I'm remembering that. Found somewhere in Vermont. No identifying information.

Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: Canes, Batons, Spears, etc. Somewhere in my house is a snapshot of a majorette with a baton, but I searched fruitlessly - so here's my already posted photo. (And a terrible scan. I'll re-do someday.) This is a cabinet card from my collection of Vintage First Communion photos. The young girl is holding an elaborate candle holder as part of her costume. In the other hand she is holding a book - probably a bible. There's something about this that looks Scandinavian but that's certainly only an impression. I purchased this in Maine years ago, in an antique store. On the back the print says: Ad. Esselborn Successor to H. Meez Photographer 183 Essex Street Corner Houston Street New York

i suppose this is not technically a found picture. It was given to me by a high school friend who knew I collected old photographs and found this in her grandmother's attic when she (the grandmother) passed away.The youngest girl is my friend's adopted mother's mother. On the back I wrote "Regents, New Haven" Given to me in New Haven Connecticut in the early 1970's.

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?

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

Purchased somewhere in New England. Probably from the 1860's.

Bought somewhere in Vermont. No identifying information, except Woodstock, Vt on front of card.

Or is it a girl? Purchased somewhere in New England. No identifying information.

Purchased somewhere in Vermont. I think at the Ferrisburgh flea market. This is a postcard. Print on the back says, Nap. J. Mongeau, Photo, Thetford Mines, Que. Is this a baby carriage? It's very unsafe looking if it is.

Purchased in the 1970's in Connecticut. Fancy printing on the back identifies photographer as Leading Photographer Brady, Cor Main and Park Sts Orange N.J.
