Original vintage black-and-white photograph, circa early-to-mid 1920s, showing a young couple kissing beside an early open touring automobile while another young woman sits nearby looking toward the camera.
The wonderfully candid composition gives the image a humorous “third wheel” quality and makes it especially appealing as a piece of vernacular photography. The seated woman appears perfectly aware of the situation while the couple is completely occupied with each other.
The photograph also offers nice period details including:
- early open touring automobile with wood-spoke wheels
- 1920s women’s clothing and hairstyles
- informal outdoor social setting
- candid romantic / humorous subject matter
The automobile manufacturer has not been conclusively identified.
Reverse is largely blank with faint numerical markings that appear to be processing, inventory, or collection notations rather than a date.
Condition: Original vintage photograph with age-related wear including light toning, surface marks, minor edge/corner wear, and a crease at the upper-left corner. Please review all photographs carefully for exact condition.
A fun and visually engaging piece of 1920s vernacular photography with crossover appeal to collectors of early automobiles, romance, humorous snapshots, women’s social history, and vintage Americana.
