Labeled “Xmas 1966” on the back (click to enlarge)
Better late than never. This is one of my all-time favorites–especially the closed-eyes cat–and another example of how there really is nothing quite like a snapshot.
“In L.A. soon” (c 1940s)
Part of an album acquired yesterday originally spotted by John Taylor, who has an eagle eye for all sorts of photographic tributaries. The inscription on the back is nice too. It reads: “This is one of the dances June will do on the stage in L.A. soon. June, 142nd St, Haw.”

The dog, to me, really makes this one.
Peace, circa 1970s
It’s time, I feel, to revisit one of my favorite Christmas shots ever (originally posted in 2011 as “Christmas is a Time of Peace”). Merry Christmas.
“Gracious! Look at us.” (c 1920s)
The face is on a piece of paper that has been glued to the back and shows through a hole cut in the photo.
Greeting 1959 in his own fashion
“Mantlers” (c 1920s)
Another in the “Backgrounds” series (sample here). While many of these of course seem inadvertent, I have to wonder whether they weren’t trying for this one.
