Vintage 1953 Girls Graduation Women Snapshot Photos Lot 4 B&W Scalloped Edge [Used]: Vintage original lot of four black-and-white gelatin-silver snapshot photographs showing moderate to heavy age-related handling and storage wear with a natural curl to the sheets. Image surfaces display overall gloss variation, scattered fine surface scuffing and scratch lines, multiple creases and bends through the image areas, and pronounced cracking or crazing to the emulsion on the outdoor portraits, along with localized soiling, small stains, and edge abrasions but no large tears severing the figures. Borders show age toning, soft corner rounding, edge nicks, and small areas of paper loss or chipping, and two prints retain significant tan album paper and black adhesive residue on the reverse and along portions of the edges, while the versos of the others carry handwritten notes including the ink inscription "June 1953 Joan" and an Atlanta "925 Peachtree St." address; all four photographs remain intact. Original vintage mid-20th-century black-and-white gelatin-silver snapshot photographs lot of four depicting women and girls in indoor and outdoor settings, including a dated 1953 graduation portrait. One photo shows a young woman standing in a living room wearing a light-colored graduation cap and gown with matching shoes, framed by furniture such as a chair, side table, and floor lamp, and the reverse is inscribed in blue ink "June 1953 Joan." A second print presents two women standing together on a dirt or gravel road with trees and shrubbery behind them, one in a light dress with belt, handbag, and hat, the other in a darker dress with contrasting collar and bow, and the back carries handwritten notes including a name and an address referencing "925 Peachtree St., Atl." The remaining two snapshots include a girl in a short-sleeved dress and hair bow posing in front of a large bush beside a yard walkway on a scalloped-border print, and a stylish woman seated on simple wooden steps against clapboard siding, wearing a knit top and skirt with crossed legs and heeled shoes. All four are small-format original gelatin-silver photographic prints on semi-gloss photo paper in black and white, with narrow white borders on three prints including one with scalloped edges, some handwritten notations and album paper on the versos, and they are offered as loose, unmounted and unframed photographs suitable for display or addition to vernacular photography, graduation, women's history, and domestic and family life collections. Features include women and girls subject matter with graduation and everyday portrait themes, outdoor yard and roadside settings plus an indoor living-room scene, original mid-20th-century black-and-white gelatin-silver snapshot production on paper, scalloped edge border on one girl portrait, and handwritten date, name, and address notes on the backs of two prints.
