Playing Indian and Fishing with a Dog in a Rowboat

01 Jul 2018 3 3 678
An on the water photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park. A curious photo of a boy and a dog in a rowboat out on the water. Both of them are looking toward the photographer, who's on the shore or in another boat. The boy is holding a fish in one hand and a fishing rod in the other, and he's wearing a headdress and other clothing in imitation of Native American garb (for a closer view, see a cropped version ). Along the far shore in the background is what looks like the silhouette of a swan, though it seems much too big to be a real bird. This is an unused real photo postcard with an AZO stamp box on the back that suggests that the photo may date to sometime between 1904 and 1918 (or perhaps later).

Wigwam Village No. 4, Orlando, Florida

"Wigwam Village No. 4, Orlando, Florida. On the Orange Blossom Trail. U.S. No. 441 and U.S. No. 17; U.S. No. 92. AAA." Printed on the back of this linen postcard: "The Wigwam Village. Orlando's 'largest and finest motel!' Located inside city limits only a few blocks from theatre and shopping district. Thirty-one modern teepees with accommodations for parties of 1, 2, 3, or 4 people. Modern grille, gift shop, and auto service on the grounds." Wikipedia reports that Wigwam Village No. 4 was built in 1948 and razed in 1974. A Vacation Lodge motel now occupies the site where teepees once stood. For views of a Wigwam Village located in Cave City, Kentucky, see Teepees and Trading Post at Wigwam Village Motel No. 2 and Braves Restroom at Wigwam Village Motel No. 2 :

Young Boy in Indian Costume

A real photo postcard of a young boy in what is apparently intended to portray Native American clothing. The photo was taken at Penn Park Studio in York, Pa. I wonder whether this was a Halloween costume.

See also Braves Restroom at Wigwam Village Motel No. 2 . I bought these two small and somewhat blurry photos a couple of years ago. They were taken at one of the Wigwam Village Motels designed by Frank Redford, probably motel #2 in Cave City, Kentucky. In this photo (above), a Trading Post sign appears on the small building that's visible between the two teepees. The license plate on the car is 3EP16 but I was unable to determine which state issued the plate. I'm guessing that it was the photographer who left the car door open. The other photo (below) shows the Braves teepee, which was the men's restroom. (Thanks go to john4kc on Flickr for pointing out that the telegraph pole visible near the teepee in the background of this second photo suggests that these photos were probably taken at Wigwam Village Motel #2.)
