Pajama-Clad Man Sitting on a Quilt-Covered Bed
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of nightclothes (pajamas, nightgowns, robes, etc.).
This is an early twentieth-century photo of a man wearing pajamas. He's sitting on the edge of a bed that's covered by a quilt. A chair and luggage are situated next to the bed. A large headboard and patterned wallpaper are visible behind the man.
This is an unused real photo postcard with no address, message, or postmark. On the back of the card is an Azo stamp box design (with four corner triangles pointing up) that suggests a time frame that may range from 1904 to 1918.
Printed on the other side: "Kellogg Studios, Cuba, Fillmore, Rushford. P. H. Kellogg, Cuba, N.Y."

I assume (since Mr. Kellogg was probably not there) that someone took the photo and later sent it in to Kellogg's studio to be made into a RPPC.
Puzzling though, as I've always assumed that a professional, traveling photographer took them - but I must be mistaken.
Perhaps sending away to have them made with your own photographs was always a possibility.
What do you think, Alan?
Also, although (I believe) I've only seen vintage men in long nightshirt-type sleepwear, I am quite surprised to see that Asian type neckline on his pajamas. It strikes me as a very traditional female decorative touch!
And finally, looking at the wall - it appears that a larger picture/mirror hung where the edge of the current picture can now be seen. There wasn't much of an attempt to cover up the non-faded wallpaper, was there? Or do you think that's just a sunlight/window reflection?
The things we don't know...
Alan Mays club has replied to Deborah Lundbech clubAnd I think you're correct in assuming that an amateur photographer took this photo, which was later developed and printed as a RPPC at the Kellogg Studios. As early as 1906, you could also send a roll of film to Kodak for printing on a postcard backing. "Unskilled amateurs became big buyers of commercially produced photo postcards as well as the products that allowed them to do their own handiwork," meaning that they could either send film away for processing into RPPCs or purchase the paper and supplies to do it themselves. This info comes from Robert Bogdan and Todd Weseloh's book, Real Photo Postcard Guide: The People's Photography (Syracuse University Press, 2006). See the section on "Amateur and Snapshot Photographers," pp. 89-91, in the book, which is full of great examples of all kinds of photo postcards.
Do you have that book? I'm thinking I might try to ILL it.
Fascinating!
