This is another one of those photos that has been cut down from a larger image. I always wonder why. An ex-boyfriend, how about an ex-husband? Maybe it just needed to fit in a frame. Written on the back, "Mon. Jan 2, 1939." An interesting year. The Great Depression was winding down, and U.S. involvement in World War 2 was only a few years away.
Good Germans between the wars? I have no idea where this photo was taken, but it's printed on Gevaert Ridax paper, manufactured in Belgium from 1905 to 1905.
There are a lot of photos out there of men in uniform. From the clothing, my best guess is that this photo was taken around the late 1920s to early 1930s. Did this young sailor hope for deployment in Hawaii or the Philippines? Plum assignments before the Japanese attacks that brought the United States into World War 2.
Sometime in the last few days, I went over one million individual page views. And no, considering how long The New Found Photography has been up and running, I have no idea if that's impressive or not. Anyway, an older couple sharing a couch with three younger women. Daughters? That's my guess.
Time for a little bit of color from some true found photography. I'm not going to bother with typing out all sorts of info on part 9. Click on Hamburg Vacation Collection in labels for the back story and to see more images from this lot.
He's wearing wings on his uniform, so he must be a member of the Army Air Corps. But is he headed off to war or getting home, having survived combat missions over Europe? Clearly from the World War 2 era.
