Vintage 1910s 50s Women Family Lot 6 Photos 2.25x2.25-2.75x4.5 B&W Gelatin Orig
Original vintage early- to mid-20th-century black-and-white gelatin-silver snapshot photographs on paper, offered as a lot of six images depicting American women and family life from roughly the 1910s through the 1940s and 1950s.
One photograph shows a smiling woman in a light dress steadying a bundled baby who stands atop a wooden platform in a yard, with trees and outbuildings filling the background.
Another image presents three older women gathered in front of a wood-frame house, two seated on the grass and one on the porch step beside a rocking chair, forming a multigenerational domestic portrait on the front lawn.
A third snapshot features a woman in a patterned day dress standing along the low concrete railing of a porch or overlook, with leafy trees stretching out behind her.
A later view captures a woman posed in the recessed entry of a stucco-clad house with a picture window, flanking shrubs, and a baby carriage parked just inside the doorway, evoking mid-century suburban home life.
Another photograph shows a woman in a coat and striped dress descending stone steps in front of a monumental seated statue and columned architectural façade, identified on the back as "New York 1947" with a stamped number "016F."
The final image depicts a woman seated with legs crossed in a simple chair before a patterned drapery or tapestry and floral-upholstered furniture, creating an intimate interior portrait.
Handwritten notes on the backs provide additional context including the inscriptions "LAKEWOOD PARK 6-13-48 ... + Gert," "New York 1947" with the stamped code "016F," and "Taken in Tenn. when we lived their," along with pencil numerals on one small print.
A separate handwritten note included with the lot reads "American Women ≈1910s -1950s 6 photos" and lists approximate print sizes.
The photographs are printed on snapshot photo paper in a variety of border styles and are unmounted and unframed original one-of-a-kind prints; any brass display stand or other props visible in the listing images are used solely for scale and presentation and are not included.
Actual Measurements: ≈ 2.75" x 4.5", ≈ 3.25" x 4.25", ≈ 3.5" x 3.5", ≈ 3.25" x 3.25", ≈ 2.25" x 2.25".
Condition: Original vintage early- to mid-20th-century black-and-white gelatin-silver snapshot photographs on paper with typical light handling and storage wear from age and use. Image surfaces show mild overall age toning with scattered light surface scuffs and small marks, and the mother-and-baby yard view carries a pronounced diagonal crease running in from the upper left edge. The interior seated portrait print has a slightly bowed right edge and faint handling lines, and the other images display gentle overall curl from previous album or box storage but no tears or paper loss. Corners and edges show slight softening and a few minor bumps. Backs exhibit handwritten captions and notations including place and date references, pencil numerals, and a small stamped code 016F. The lot is offered as six loose unmounted and unframed original prints only, with any brass display stand or other props visible in the listing images used solely for scale and presentation and not included.
