Featured Gem 21
Real Photo Postcard
‘Good Luck Black Cat’
Date: 1909
People: Unidentified
Studio: Unspecified
Postcard Back: Blank
Notes: Such a great pose and fabulous costume! (From the same collection as Gem 16) This image is from a series of over twenty postcards from the same old album. Apparently there was a message on the front of the album that read: “To The Mayoress with H Jenkins compliments. 1909 A souvenir of the Childrens Fancy Dress Ball”. What a fancy dress ball it must have been!

Amazing photo. I found this post as I was looking for images of a kids fancy dress costume I’ve ordered. Its called LUcky Black Cat http://www.kidsfancydress4u.co.uk/household-animals/993037-lucky-black-cat-140-cm-79-years.html hehe. I know this isnt relevant but I just had to comment as that picture is so random.
