These four photographs were found at the Citywide Garage Sale held in Austin, Texas on March 15, 2003.  They all seem to be people from areas of Texas not far from Austin.

•        Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Frederick or Friederich.  The photographer is given as "Lackey's Studio, Temple, Texas."  There is a mark on the back showing a leaf which reads "Collins" and "Ponda", but this may just be the name of the frame manufacturer.  This is a lovely wedding photo from the 1920s or 30s.  The frame is one of those folding cardboard types which form into a sort of easel.  The photo is on textured paper, which does not show in this reduced copy.  Unfortunately, as with several other photos I have seen from this time period, the silver in the emulsion is apparently either breaking down or tarnishing, which gives the dark areas of the photo an unwanted reflective sheen (again, this does not show up much here - it's much more extensive and obvious in the actual photo).  The photo in its frame is roughly 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches.

•        "John Hunt, Sr. family."  This photo shows a farm couple with their three children.  The original is in pretty bad shape - rather faded with several rips.  There is no photographer information anywhere on it.  The cardboard backing measures about 8 x 10 inches.  The photo itself is about 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches.

•      I cropped this photo of four children in an attempt to reduce file size.  The handwriting on the back is difficult to read.  It appears to read:  "Fred Mühlhause?, Belton, Texas."  I don't see any photographer or studio information on the frame anywhere.  The frame measures about 6 x 8 inches.

•      Hatty Nawara.  The back of this postcard reads:  "To my Dear aunt and Uncle John from Hatty Nawara."  It is addressed to Mr. John Nawara, Needwell, Texas.
