May 12, 1914. "King, G., Miss, with Buzzer the cat. 135 E. 66th Street, New York City." Buzzer served as a prop in dozens of these portraits by Arnold Genthe. 5x7 glass negative, with much curlicue stippling. View full size.
Miss King looks a bit like famous 20th century actress Billie Burke did about the same time; both sported the same Gibson Girl-style hairdo and sweet smile, a wholesome kind of beauty much favored in those days.
Buzzer is ready to GET DOWN!
If anyone colorizes this, Buzzer looks like a classic orange tabby. Miss King isn't too shabby either. Love that smile.
