Continuing the vernacular photography saga, here is a collection of finely dressed gentlemen from the late 19th century to the mid 20th century. Much thanks to Shorpy, Square America, Charlie Parker, and Big Happy Fun House for the beautiful pictures.
’tain’t one of ‘em a gentleman, I vouch. But they all look like my ancestors to one degree or t’ohter.
Very much so. That was actually the kind of the element I was going for. The kind of ancestors I remember hearing stories about. Swilling moonshine, fighting brothers, and various other hijinks.
