A fellow named Richard archives vintage photos on Flickr. Among them are candid portraits of college girls, from "a collection of 300 negatives by an unknown New Jersey photographer", taken a few years prior to the '20s. The camera preserved the students' camaraderie, making me nostalgic for an era that I never experienced.
The greatest striped coat ever. (Actually, this one is a possible trump.)
Flying hat!
It popped up again! I enjoy the boisterous picnicking, but my favorites are the contemplative shots:

ReplyDeleteGirls: sneaking out of dorms to look for adventure since apparently forever :-)

DeleteGorgeous photographs. The details are so rich. I love the second shot where the one girl is hitching her skirt and you can glimpse at the detailed swisslace petticoat. So charming.
