Our common fate...



A dual portrait that my wife picked up in a local antique store, it is apparently the same man as a young teen or maybe a little younger, and then as a young man in a bathing suit on a pier with the ocean just visiable behind him, circa 1910 and 1920.

The newer photo was over top of the other in a brass frame.  Not bad for 50 c. 
Just an odd and strangley evocative set of pictures, I wonder who he was...
and will we all end up as unknown photos in someone's Antique shop someday soon.
Sic transit gloria.
