Self Portrait

Of course, I can't be certain, but I'd bet that the camera was set on the wall, and a self timer was used to trip the shutter.  The man has a rucksack, so he's off on a ramble, but did he run into his two lady companions, or were they his hiking partners?  The woman on the right looks to be younger than the other two, so maybe it's a father, mother, and daughter.

What Dealers Do, A Boy and His Bra

Another example of how antique dealers destroy collections. According to the seller, this is a self portrait, from the 1940's, of a young man named Eddie Harbaugh. It seems that Eddie was a photography mad young man who had no one to pose for him, so he made up an album of self portraits. This is a tiny print, only 1 1/2 x 1 7/8s inches in size. I never saw the whole album, but at that size, there may have been hundreds of separate images, and if Eddie was willing to take a picture of himself in a bra, who knows what a treasure that album was. Sadly, we'll never know, since the dealer tore it apart, and sold the photos separately.
