1920’S CAMPER CAR SNAPSHOT WITH CHOW


When this wonderful 1920’s snapshot arrived in the mail it was hard to make out the details of what was behind this gorgeous old car , much less the chow to the left,  and the young lad in the background.    Once I converted this to black and white and started restoring the contrast and pulling details forward it all came clearly into view!!  I even cloned some background to the left of the chow to make him more a part of the photo rather than almost running off the edge.

This is either a Camping car similar to what you see in the attached ad or it could be a tent trailer.  At any rate, it is an amazing and rare photograph depicting a pastime which was all the rage in Roaring 20’s America….travel touring and camping !!  The extra bonus is this adds another unique chow with an automobile photo to my  CURATED COLLECTION!
