Sending a Christmascard in 1910


It is time to send a photograph to the family for Christmas. As you can imagine, nowadays taking a photograph is much easier than back in 1910. The photograph above was taken in Chicago.

If you would take a selfie in front of the Willis Tower today, the photograph would look quite different from the one back in 1910. Prior you had to go to a photo studio where they had a car on display on which you could take place with your lovely wife or husband. Then there would be someone who would 'shoot' the photograph. After this it would take a while before you finally could send it to the family. But be honest, 107 years later we are still looking at the photo. So, everything was worth it.

Let's talk about the car. What car would it be? A Cadillac?

I don't believe that it is a Cadillac, but I can't identify it. Being that it is a studio photo, and seemingly with miss-matched parts, it could be a composite put together by the studio.

The car is a 1904-1905 Thomas Flyer, but partially modified: the alterations are front and rear fenders, the chain cover and parts of the body.
