i myself am caught in a time loop of rewatching alfred & henrys meeting in the park and i just realised when alfred first looks up at henry after talking there's a Reaction™, a sudden averted gaze & a quick hitched breath and the only reasonable explanation i have is that henry looks SO PRETTY AND GOLDEN in that lighting with THAT suit that I too would be rendered breathless

Victorian/Pre-WW1 Era US Policeman Studio Portrait
Here’s a piece of history that speaks volumes without saying a word. This striking studio portrait, likely taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, captures a US policeman in full uniform, complete with a seven-pointed badge and the distinctive helmet of the era. The formal pose and serious expression are a powerful reminder of the early days of law enforcement in rapidly growing American cities.
What makes this piece even more intriguing is the small obituary fragment affixed to the back of the photo. Although weathered with time, it offers a tantalizing connection to the life of the person in the image—perhaps a clue to their identity or a poignant reminder of their legacy.
Owning this portrait is like holding a moment frozen in time—an opportunity to reflect on the brave individuals who helped shape the future of law and order in the United States.
🛡️ Available for $70 at VDG Militaria.

✨ History collectors and enthusiasts, feel free to reblog and share your thoughts—what do you imagine this officer’s story might be?

"The Genius of Advertising Could No Further Go"
National Police Gazette (Vol. 36, Iss. 147).
Magazine illustration, 17 July 1880.
Archive Link.
Tumblr media
Fair warning: yapping ahead. Things I explore: the National Police Gazette, the illustration, and a teeny history of 19th-century women brothel owners... and also an apology because I didn't mean to write all of this.
Tumblr media
THE NATIONAL POLICE GAZETTE
Tumblr media
"THE Genius of Advertising Could No Further Go—An Enterprising Proprietress of a Bagnio Places a Photo-Lithograph in Her Window Setting Forth The Charms of the Inmates; New York City" (full caption) is from the National Police Gazette, a magazine founded in 1845 by Enoch E. Camp and George Wilkes that covered murders, outlaws, and sports—as any man-interested tabloid would (I'm not a man, but yippee-ki-yay, would I tune in). And, of course, the gazette would include scandalous (on the cusp of obscene and illegal (Victorian era, keep that in mind)) images of female sex workers and performers (think of it as the time's Playboy... silly enough, they also had Marilyn Monroe for their cover, this being 1956 instead of PB's 1953).
TRAGICALLY, the National Police Gazette would see its largest spike in popularity during the Great Depression before suspending publication from 1933-1935 due to selling ownership twice, being sold again in the late sixties, and then killing the magazine's production in 1977. A whole 132-year reign, including being the prime news for Boxing in the 20s (the editor and proprietor, Richard Fox, handed studded belts to champion fighters) and being barred by USPS, declares this magazine not only a historical relic but also a forgotten yet still-living America—one for the men (and, of course, us girls. After all, this was peak American).
Tumblr media
ILLUSTRATION
Tumblr media
BACK to the picture. The caption mentions the word 'bagnio,' which, upon scanning, accidentally read the N as an X, so I searched up the word to make sure I was reading it entirely correctly—I was. It's an archaic term for 'brothel' (a place where patrons visit prostitutes). The illustration depicts men staring at images of prostitutes that are pinned on the window by the owner (can't blame men for using women to make money as, in this situation, it's a female owner).
Tumblr media
WOMEN & BROTHELS
Tumblr media
SURPRISINGLY enough, women dominated Western America, building communities and providing for the economy. The fact I call it surprising is because I just learned this (Feminism should fight against history erasure because this should've been a widely talked about chapter in HS American History)! As much as I believe women shouldn't sell their bodies and that we need to better take care of women (forced prostitution—sex slavery—runs the prostitution industry), I can't deny the history women have with Bordellos, not as employees but also as owners. Madams are the title of these female brothel owners, and they were common back in the 19th century. Most of the time, Madams were entry-level (showgirls) who made almost as much as factory workers and worked their way up to the top or used their money to create inns and parlors, expanding their wealth. These women, though taking advantage of their own and other girls' (usually aged from their mid-teens to middle-aged) bodies, capitalized and found their place in labored society... something that can be considered early feminism. They planted themselves in the economy and made it known that they could own property, make money, and (yes, even in 1800s United States) vote. That, you can applaud.
Tumblr media
APOLOGY
Tumblr media
I didn't actually expect to yap on this post; I was writing my book, scrolling for images, and found this one, and wanted to include the full caption... which ended down a rabbit hole😭
