Little Girl with Daisies: Free Vintage Photo

Here's a pretty little summertime beauty, crowned with daisy flowers.  I should do more of these Victorian children's photographs and postcards, as they are so popular.  Most of what I have scanned are little girls, but I have a box full of postcards of men and boys that I need to work on.

Crescent Moon

I recently discovered NASA images!  These are OK to use, and I particularly like the ones of the moon.

Here is a waxing crescent moon photograph for you to enjoy.

Picnic Lady Photograph Free Vintage Image

Just a cool old photograph dated 1909.  I like the flag in the background.  It makes this seem like it was taken at a July Fourth picnic.  She has a wonderful smile, and that's a pretty summer dress!

Serene Woman in Classical Costume

This is a gorgeous old Paris postcard of a woman in classical Greek or Roman dress.  I've cleaned it up and repaired it, and added some subtle tint.

This classical theme seems to have been popular for postcards in the Victorian / Edwardian era, for there are many of them in my collection.  I think the pose on this one is particularly pretty and serene.  She could be a goddess, a muse, or just a lady with her thoughts faraway.

Enjoy ~

Diva in Pink

Ooh-la-la, what a diva.  Here is an image of shapely Belle Epoque beauty Arlette Dorgere.  She was a famous lady of the stage, and one of the more popular subjects of French postcards such as this.  I've tinted her a dusky rose pink, which seems to suit her.  I hope she inspires your artwork and crafts and your diva attitude!

Victorian Ladies: 1896 Chicago

I haven't decided whether these three fashionable Victorian ladies are sisters or friends.  They don't look much alike, but they are certainly dressed for something special.  Love the hats! 

Beautiful Victorian Edwardian Girl Photo

I know I can't ever go wrong with another photograph of a beautiful little girl.  I love the flowers in her hair, and I couldn't resist adding a little soft tint.  This young model appears on quite a few of the old Paris photo postcards in my collection.  I wish I knew her name.

Little Girl Vintage French Postcard

For today, another antique French postcard.  This one I think was mailed from French Algiers.  I left the postage mark and the little green French stamp.  Sometimes I like them left on.  Such a cute little Victorian girl, daydreaming away.  Maybe the foreign postmark on this picture feels right because her thoughts seem far away.

Diva! Free Vintage Photo Postcard

I absolutely love these photo postcards of Victorian Edwardian actresses and have quite a collection.  Here is one that just cries out for a caption, or to embellish a card or scrapbook.  Any ideas what's on this fabulous diva's mind?
