Loving My New Vernacular Snapshot Find

I recently purchased this amazing vernacular snapshot of a young couple reflected in a fun house mirror. It looks as though they are at a beach. As you can see they are dressed in formal attire. I wonder if they dressed up for the photograph?

It really is a small world

Many of you know that we collect vernacular snapshots. I especially love those with a message written on the back, or sometimes on the front. I was pleasantly surprised when I found this photograph from a photography dealer in California. It was taken in my tiny hometown, Newbern, Tennessee in 1937. How it made its way from Tennessee to California, or if perhaps the photograph was taken by someone passing through, we will never know. Of course, I had to add this one to our collection.
