From our collection of old postcards ...
Five Little Eskimo Sisters, Copyright 1906 by F. H. Nowell, Nome, Alaska. Published by Edwin Mitchell, San Francisco, probably 1906 -- 07. This card is one of many catering to the fascination, during that time period, that many Americans had with Alaska and Native Alaskans.
The title is hard to read at the top of the photo. We are uncertain ... card number 1??8.
Thank you for stopping by John's Island.
Strange to think that those little children grew up and had children themselves and died. Time is a fleeting thing, isn't it? :-)

ReplyDeleteNice postcards. The sister are colorful.
ReplyDeleteThey don't look too happy to have their picture taken!
ReplyDeleteSeeing the fish behind these kids brings back old memories. The larger fish were filleted and dried.
ReplyDeleteThe Eskimo children look worried in this photo--it was probably the first time they saw a camera!

ReplyDeleteI love this card with the Eskomo-girls. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou asked about my health. I suffer from pain in my chest often: Esophageal spasm. But now I had an other sort of pain and I had to go to the hospital in the CCU. Happy news: no infarct. Only an inflamed intercostal muscle. At this time my heart rate back to normalize. I'm so happy now.
I pray for you and your nice work/job where you was writing me about.
This is a neat one! Nice picture of the Eskimo girls.
