<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vern, post: 29077, member: 347&quot;]Larrs and Duclos were fairly famous early photographers that had a few studios during the Yukon Gold Rush in Alaska and in Dawson, a gold rush town.&nbsp; They produced prints like this for prospectors and others as keepsakes to take home.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if that was the intention with these, but a lot of their work could be thought of as souvenir photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>The aircraft were done by Hewitt&#039;s Photo Shop which were probably the most popular in Alaska a few decades after the Larrs and Duclos days.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I hadn&#039;t considered that they were the same lady. I can see that now.&nbsp; I&#039;ve always called her Lady Luck, my incarnation of the Goddess Fortuna and her wheel of fortune.&nbsp; She doesn&#039;t resemble Klondike Kate, but maybe there is an answer somewhere.&nbsp; Thanks so much for the enlightenment.&nbsp; They look so different!&nbsp; Great costume work![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
