A wonderful 1930s vernacular black-and-white snapshot photograph of a young girl — identified on the back as "Jarene," 3 years 5 months old — beaming with joy from the seat of her streamlined 1930s art-deco tricycle.
Little Jarene wears a cozy light-colored fur (or faux-fur) coat and matching hat as she poses on the sidewalk in front of a house with horizontal siding and multi-pane windows; the home's address plaque "6216" is clearly visible behind her.
Tricycle collectors will take note of the classic 1930s "streamline" details: teardrop-shaped art-deco front and rear fenders with white pinstripe accents, a large spoked front wheel, smaller rear wheels, and black grips — the quintessential streamlined toy design of the Depression era.
BACK INSCRIPTION (transcribed exactly as written):"Jarene - 3 yrs 5 mo old"A small stamped "112" appears below the inscription, and a faint Kodak Velox watermark is visible in the paper.
This charming original vintage print is a delightful piece of Americana — perfect for collectors of 1930s toys, vintage tricycles, childhood nostalgia, vernacular photography, snapshot ephemera, and Depression-era childhood images.
PHOTOS: Please study all three photos included — (1) a close-up detail of Jarene, (2) the full front view of the photo, and (3) the back showing the handwritten inscription and stamp.
SIZE: 3 x 4 1/2 inches. Original vintage black-and-white print (not a reprint). Good vintage condition consistent with age; please examine the photos for full condition details.
