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).

Carte-de-visite, Boy with dog, ca. 1868


Here's a carte-de-visite showing a young boy named Eugene in an off-the-shoulder dress. the diagonal rug pattern mimics the bias-cut diagonal plaid of his dress. I'm thinking late 1860s for this one, based on the clothing and the style of the CDV.
