I believe that these are pictures of Confederate Soldiers from the Civil War. This album also included pictures of women, children, and non-uniformed men. I was told that all these people were from St. Louis, or relatives of people living in St. Louis. Such fascinating untold stories… I’ll let these pictures speak for themselves!
This starts out with a full page ad for The Snugset Clothes Company, which has an illustration of a fashionable man in a suit and alot of text (Men’s clothes that wear as well as they look!). Lion Hats by Langenberg Hat Co lets the picture do the talking. Bettmann-KleinHause Clothing Company (at 1204 Washington Ave.) has a full two page advertisement spread illustrating men and boys, and having on display: men’s suits, men’s overcoats, children’s suits, children’s knee pants, young men’s overcoats, young men’s suits, men’s and young men’s pants, and more.
I love these cute pictures of children and babies, from the 1930s! It looks like they turned one of the infants pictures into a post card, and I’ve scanned the front and back of it. I’m finished scanning this album… and not sure if I want to scan another Modern Priscilla issue, or the 1922 St. Louis Fashion Pageant magazine… Thoughts?
Here are some family and children photos from around 1938 (according to the date on the pics)…. the cute white pressed collars and simple clothing! It’s interesting to see the women wearing cloche-like turbans, showing that the fashion changes from the 1920s fashions were more gradual than merely stopping in 1929 (atleast for everyone but [...]
This page of advertisements for baby clothes and diapers was between the lingerie and slip section. It’s really cute to see how children dressed in 1935! Baby bonnets, little girls dresses, rompers, boys’ sunsuits…. and sanitary packed hemmed diapers.
This is my second to last batch of turn of the century photo scans, and I’ve divided them roughly into “children” and “adults”. One of the little girls’ photos had a small picture fall out from the backing of the cardboard when I picked it up to scan, and I’ve included a scan of it [...]
I found a date on these turn of the century children’s and family photos I scanned. On the back of the photo of the young woman in a white dress by St. Louis photographer J. Hass, was written “1906″ (which I also scanned). I’m guessing that the other photos in this group were also from the [...]
The picture that grips me most from this set is the turn of the century photo of the little blonde toddler next to a chair taken by Hans Jaggli from Winterthur Sweden. The back is stamped with: H. Jaggli Atlier fur photographie Winterthur 2 Ecke Wart-und Rudiofstrasse Telephon No 220 Platten bleiben aufbewahrd Vergrosserungen nach [...]
J. Haas shot a very lovely looking portrait of a young couple, which I am guessing (but not sure) would be around 1908-ish because of her high necked long tulip flared gown and poofed sleeves. Please correct me in the comments if I’m wrong! I am finding the backs of these old photos more informative [...]
This first old photo of a girl with glasses in a white dress looks really silly. I feel sorry for her! The last picture, which looks like a turn of the century communion photo, also looks very awkward. I appreciate the interesting background that Setzer used in his photo of the toddler in a white [...]
