Can't Put It Down!

Can't Put It Down!
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of newspapers, magazines, or any other printed materials.

Seven girls are all peering intently at a magazine, as if it's so interesting that they just can't put it down. The girls are nicely dressed with elaborate hairstyles, and they're obviously posing in a studio in front of a painted backdrop.

So what magazine has captured the girls' attention? Why, it's an issue of Studio Light: A Magazine of Information for the Profession, published by the Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester, N.Y.

It's doubtful that these young ladies were that interested in a magazine intended for professional photographers, so it seems likely that it was merely a prop for use in the photo.

This is a real photo postcard with a divided back and a type of Azo stamp box (with four corner triangles pointing up) on the other side that suggests a possible date that may be as early as 1907 to 1918. The year printed on the cover of the magazine is partially visible; it looks like it may be 1919.

I dunno. That Studio Light was hot stuff. A fine photo whichever is true.

Thanks, Ellie! The girls' hair does look like it was done up quite elaborately. I couldn't figure out what you'd call their hairstyles.
