A Cool Old Photograph

Jump to Comments

Unidentified Calumet, MI Photograph Here’s an old photograph that I promised to share with Kathy Petlewski, but I thought I’d share it with everyone else. The back is in bad shape, and the photographer print is nearly ripped off, but what remains says “Calumet” and half of a photographer’s name. I actually do not have this photograph in my possession at the moment so I can’t give any more description. I’m speculating that it might be a couple of the immigrant Pytlewski brothers, but I will never know for sure unless someone can identify them.

  • Hi there,
    I’m a digital editor, and I hope you don’t mind but when I saw this photograph, I thought I’d practise my skills and retouch it :)

    Here’s the finished result!

  • Wow, this is a really old post, but thought it was interesting. These two folks are actually deceased in the photograph and propped up by two stands you can see peeking out behidn their feet. These types of photographs weren’t uncommon in those days. If you look closely you can see the stands, and the strange looks on their faces give it away aswell. The man on the left actually only has his left eye hald way open. They were usually held open by some strange device or painted ontop of the eyelids. Creepy.
