What it is:
Four photos, ranging from 2.5 x 3.5 inches to 4.5 x 2.75 inches. The remains of photo album mounts are stuck to the corners of one of them.
What I know about it:
The upper right photo is stamped Beckers Camera Shop / Beckers Drug (at Walgreen’s) / Rapid City, S. Dak. Otherwise undated and unidentified.
Comments:
Just in case anybody was getting weary of the relentless parade of formal, pretty poses. 🙂
Pics of Then 
These are feel-good photos. The sort that makes you remember that even back then, people were just…people. They were funny, did things just for a laugh. Somehow, it seems like with old, formal images, the people seem stiff and very proper. These are a treat to see, because it reminds me of how people have always been pretty much the same. I especially love the upper right photo. Great contrast, and we can only imagine what happened there. Great post. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Jenna! We’re thinking along the same lines here. I’m glad you appreciate and enjoy these, too.
I like the mother who seems to be saying, “Billy, get your face away from your brother’s fist.” She’s having none of this “fun” nonsense of which you speak. 😉
Hahah, yes. To me it looks like they are posing for the camera a bit, and yet it’s the sort of scenario that plays out all the time without the camera, too.
