My father (left) chats with his brother-in-law Abe, who was the husband of his oldest sister, in a set of Adirondack chairs, blocking full view of a perfectly lovely, two-tone, 1956 Plymouth Belvedere. I haven’t a clue who owned the Plymouth. We had a 1952 Studebaker at that time. Abe lived in a New York City apartment that had no place to park a car. Location is probably some Catskills resort hotel. Date is late 1950's. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

My mother’s whole life was (and to an extent still is) seen through a lens of apparel. Her mother was a milliner (made women’s hats during the first quarter of the 20th century, when everybody wore hats). Her father was a pattern-maker. My mother graduated from FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) in New York City. She designed and made her clothes. She designed and made my clothes. She never bought a curtain, bedspread, or furniture slip cover in her life. She made them. If you were looking for her in the house, she would not be doing heavy duty cleaning. We had hired help for that. But she might be making fashion sketches, or sitting at the sewing machine. Here, three-year-old me stands on a seat cushion she made, which is on one of our Paul McCobb mid-century modern chairs, to examine to polka dot fabric she has draped on her dress form, as she starts the pattern-making process for another dress.

Pearl "dolled up" for church and travel. Pearl's husband, Harry, was the premier roofing contractor of Baltimore for decades before passing away in 1947 at age 60. At age 57 Pearl ran the business until my father could take over. This was one of her "going visiting" set of clothes and coat, heading to NYC's Radio City for a premier. View full size.

Ambrotype of my great-great-great-uncles, Ephraim R. Jones and John Quincy Adams Jones, about 1858-1860 in Illinois. I am descended from their brother, Martin Van Buren Jones, who went to northern California via the Oregon trail in 1852. Ephraim was an early-day portrait photographer (Jones and Hover Studio, Jacksonville, Illinois) and was, according to family lore, for a while a traveling fiddler and dancing master. He came to the northern California coast town of Crescent City to visit Martin and his family and probably brought this and my other Jones family ambrotypes with him, and I have inherited them. John Quincy Adams Jones was a young lawyer in Havana, Illinois with a promising career ahead of him when he enlisted as a Lieutenant in Company K, 17th Regiment, Illinois Volunteer Infantry in 1861, and was killed in the battle of Fredericktown, Missouri on Oct. 24, 1861.

My father was a city engineer in Riverside, California for a while. He went on a field trip in 1955 to look at engineering projects in Northern California. One of the pictures he took with his 35mm Exacta was this one of a dam under construction. I think it might be the Oroville Dam. View full size. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

These are my mother’s parents Issar and Marie, thirty years after the cigar and rocker photo, visiting the New Brunswick, New Jersey garden apartment where my own, then newly-wed, future parents lived from late 1951 until 1953. (A photo of my parents taken on this same day is here). They had both come from eastern Europe, he around 1905 and she around 1913, and met while working in the garment trade of New York City. They married in 1923. I never met him; he died the year before I was born. She seems to stand so tall and proud in her fur collar coat. The woman I met could not stand straight due to severe osteoporosis, which gave her a hunched back. Photo was probably taken by my mother. Scan was made from a print. View full size.

The grave of my great-uncle Hubert Blanc who died at Passchendaele a hundred years ago at the age of 24. His younger sister, my maternal grandmother, took this photo on May 16, 1965, at the Lijssenthoek Cemetery in Belgium. Hubert was born in France, grew up in New York City, moved to Saskatchewan to farm with his family, and ended up back in the continent of his birth where he fought and died in the First World War.

There are picture after picture of my mother posing in coats in her pre-marriage photos. Either New York City was having a mini ice age during the 1940's, or she had a thing for coats. When I asked her about this one, she said that she bought it with money from her first job. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)
