RPPC of Two Girls with Dog and Doll


These two strange-looking girls must have been a challenge for the photographer. There really wasn't any way to make them attractive, though it looks like someone tried to tint the right-hand girl's cheeks. The dog is the cutest one in the picture. This is an RPPC (real-photo postcard).

Cabinet Card, Girl with Parrot, ca. 1885

Here's a young girl about three years old in a studio portrait with fake rocks and grass. She seems very comfortable with the parrot, and vice-versa, so it's probably her family's pet. The plain, masculine dress could be a boy's dress, but the child's hair is parted in the center, so she is almost certainly a girl. I'm guessing ca. 1885 for this one.
