A pretty bride but an unmarked photo. Not even sure where it was taken. Since my ancestors were in Ontario Canada, Michigan and Binghamton, New York, it is anybody's guess. From the dress and hairstyle my guess it's the early 1900's. View full size. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

Marie was born in Lithuania on July 15, 1891. Her last name was pronounced Zah-COOB-en-zin, but when she came to the United States the officials translated the non-English alphabet on her papers to Jacobson. In this photo, taken in New York City soon after she arrived in the USA, she was 22 years old. Marie was college educated before she left Lithuania and worked in the millinery trade until she married in 1923 at the (then considered) ripe old age of 32. She gave birth to my aunt Harriet in 1924 and my mother Arlene in late 1929. She died at age 88 in March 1979. View full size. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

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.

My father had a small Italian Restaurant in New York City from 1980 to 1990. I loved spending time there when I was younger. The building was restored a number of years ago and I contacted the current owner out of curiosity. She wrote me back and told me this photograph (which is not my family) was found hidden in the attic. I have done some searching in the past and through the city I have a list of owners. The first being the Huyler family. They were a well known family in NY. I know Alice Huyler Ramsey was the first woman to drive across the country. I was a bit taken aback about how much the girl on the far left looks a bit like her. I want to share this interesting find with you all. View full size. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

Parade in New York City in the 1920s. The building in back is the old courthouse and post office, at the time referred to as Mullet's Monstrosity. Torn down in 1939, it was located on Broadway right by City Hall. First of five shots of the parade in an envelope of negatives I bought recently. 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)

The statue of George Washington was apparently really, really big at the 1939 New York World's Fair. It isn’t just a camera effect of an object in the foreground because those are people leaning on the base of the statue. In the background is the Borden dairy exhibit where visitors got to see an automated milking machine at work. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)
