The Here, There and Everywhere Collection-Not Twins of Any Kind

I have to admit, this is an incredibly common pose.   Anyway, this photo was mounted on a bit of album page, but since who ever tore it out didn't get a second picture I didn't see a need to show position(lower corner) on the page.

And, click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels and all that.

The Here, There and Everywhere Collection-Conjoined Twins

Yes, I know that these two ladies aren't actually conjoined twins, it just looks that way.  And no, speaking of things that aren't as they appear, the woman on the left is not missing a leg. 

As usual, click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels to see more, more, more....

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-Natty Dressers

Then again, what do I know about fashion.  Maybe there not stylish at all.  Click on The Here There and Everywhere Collection in labels to see more images from the lot. 

The Here, There, and Everywhere Collection-Old Granddad

No, not the whiskey.  I've got to say, the lady in the one picture looks a bit manic.  Perhaps granddad had to take the kid away for his own safety.

Asia or America

Perhaps American tourists is Asia, or American tourists in one of the many Japanese gardens that seem to show up in public parks all over the United States.  I picked this one up in Los Angeles.  That pushes the odds towards California, but L.A. is a sea port, so maybe not. 

More Training Wheels

Well, it really looks like 1950s suburban America.  Too, the color restoration setting worked exceptionally well with these two prints. 

Training Wheels

I didn't have training wheels on my first bicycle.  If I lost my balance I fell over.  And I  did, more than a few times.

Sitting Near Water

Alright, I'm assuming that the "1.VII.21"  in the lower right corner means either January 7, 1921 or the first day of July, 1921.  I'm leaning towards Europe and July because of the laefy green tree in the background.

Victoria, B.C.

I purchased this card on EBay.  The seller had two versions of this image, this one, and a real photo postcard.  I bid on both in hope that I could post them and show how card publishers used black & white photos to make color postcards.  Unfortunately, I only won this one.  Published by "Barber Bros., Victoria, B.C." 

Church of the Madeline

The printer needed to burn in the bottom of the picture, but other than that it's a great photograph. 

Anyway, in my last post, one half of the card had a picture of the Church of the Madeline in Paris, France.  The building was designed by architect Pierre-Alexandre Vignon, started in 1806, it was originally a monument commissioned by Napoleon, The Temple to the Glory of the Great Army.   After the fall of Napoleon and the Bourbon restoration, it was given to the Catholic Church. 

Written on the back, "Madeline Church."  No date, but I'd bet on the 1930s. 

The Glory of France

I love the design of these cards.  Too bad this is the last one I have.  Anyway, the Fontainbleu Palace is one of those European monstrosities that every king, for centuries, had to add his own personal touch with a new building, wing, or garden.  The Great Gallery of Francis I started life as a hallway that connected the King's apartments and his private chapel.  Easy access for monarchs after starting a war or killing a few peasants.
