Various sets of American ladies decked out in their finery. Circa 1870-1890.
    The April 1 tradition in France and French-speaking Canada includes poisson d'avril (literally "April's fish"), attempting to attach a paper fish to the victim's back without being noticed.     Antique Victorian tinytype portraits of individual ladies.    Do you drink alone, with a friend, or a couple of fellas? Three French real photo postcards. Is it your life, medicine, or social calling?    What's cuter than an androgynous little boy in short pants? One bearing flowers of course!     Top photo is closer to the 1870's, bottom photos are a bit later 1810's-1890's Montana, the wild west.    Postcards of children in native dress. The top card is Breton children, an ethnic group in the Brittany region of France. The 2nd card shows gypsy children. The last card is an illustration of German children.    Three Parisian, real photo postcard images with ladies dressed for New Years and Christmas. Yours to use and peruse.   Some French postcards would come in a series, like mini soap operas that each tell a little story. Some have captions, this pair with children does not so we are left to wonder if a wrong note set off this brawl. | ArchivesMarch 2012 CategoriesAll |
