Like Father, Like Son

(Posting this a day late since Ipernity wasn't accessible last night.)

A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of fathers and children.

This is a real photo postcard of a man and a boy -- probably a father and son. Both are similarly dressed in hats, suits, and button shoes, and they're both sitting with their legs crossed.

The photographer's name printed on the other side is "C. G. Blatt, Bernville, Berks Co., Pa." Since the photo postcard has a divided back with space for both a message and an address (only the address was permitted prior to 1907) and since the photographer -- Cyrus Gerhart Blatt (1841-1915) -- passed away in 1915, it's likely that the photo dates to sometime between 1908 and 1914.

Great portrait, Alan - a dapper Dad and son. I bet the son was not too keen on the stiff, high collar, but probably very proud to have this portrait taken with his father.
This could double as the “crossed legs (etc,) topic for next week too!
