Mother and Son Gluebook Page

It's always a thrill to find more than one image of the same person when digging through a pile of vintage photos in an antique shop.  So I didn't hesitate to snatch up two picture postcards featuring a young lad in a striped sailor suit, especially when the store owner was selling the photos for just 50 cents apiece.  

I made laser copies of the two photos and cropped them to use on a two-page spread in my vintage gluebook.  I love the relaxed pose of the photo on the left.  I've imagined that the boy's father was killed in a tragic accident at a young age, leaving his mother to raise him on her own.  It's just mother and son, trying to find their way in the world.

Thanks for dropping by!
