Family Poses with Automobile, 1920s - Found Photograph (adjusted/detail)

You have to wonder, what was she thinking when this moment was captured on film? A woman of obvious beauty and wealth posed inside a car in the 1920s. Where is she going? What is her name? Why did she choose to wear what she's wearing?

These are the thoughts that run through my mind when perousing vintage photographs. Every one of them has a story to tell.

I've been on a bit 1920s/1930s kick lately (Boardwalk Empire...slowly getting through all the episodes during break). I hope you enjoy these lovely photos! Click on them for credit and larger versions!

  6. I Love the 1920's and was very fortunate back in 2007 to view the Paul Poiret exhibit at the MMA in NYC. It was amazing!! He revolutionized women's clothing and his art of draping fabric was beautiful.
