Grandma J Grandpa Cravens

Postcard 5 1/2″ x 3 1/2″  

Frame 5″ x 7″ 

Amazing Victorian formal dress in Hopkinsville,  Ky in 1912

Actual Picture Postcard  

I believe the car to be a Topeka Touring Stafford Motor Car Co. Topeka,  MO  1910 – 1915

On the back of the postcard please see the pencil writing:  maura & papa picture made Oct. 19,  1912  Signed in script handwriting:  Sallie Cravens Hopkinsville Ky.   

On the back of the cardboard from the frame hand written blue ink:  GRANDMA – J – GRANDPA CRAVENS  MADE IN HOPKINSVILLE, KENTUCKY ON OCT, 19,  1912

I’ve done some research….in 1899 in Hopkinsville there was a “James Garnett Cravens”  and in 05  May  1905 there was a Jabe Clifton Cravens….James Garnett Cravens could very well be “J ” in the J Grandpa in the photo….

Fantastic distinctive photo of the rare golden era of postcards….
