Irwin G. Waggener

15 Sep 2015 3 1198
A Victorian-era calling card with pasted-on photograph. The typeface is MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan's Spencerian Script with ornamented capitals. Despite the variant spelling of the last name, this card may have belonged to Irwin Guy Waggoner (1882-1975), who lived in Oregon. If so--and if he actually had his photograph taken and cards printed when he was as young as he appears in the photo--then it's likely that this calling card dates to the 1880s or 1890s. This is the only calling card with a child's photo that I've ever seen. For additional examples of photographic calling cards, see my Calling Cards with Photographs album.

Alice G. Junker, Yreka, California

10 Jul 2015 2 1664
"Compliments of your neice Alice." Handwritten note on the back of this photographic calling card: "Mrs. A. E. Junker, Yereka, Cal. Taken some years ago." Based on the handwritten additions, this card and its inset tintype photo belonged to Alice G. Junker, who was married to Albert E Junker. In 1910, when Alice was 44 years old and Albert was 48, they lived in Yreka Ward 2, Siskiyou County, California. It's likely that the calling card dates to the 1880s or 1890s.
