gypsy

This is just great. Look at that trelliswork !

wei lawa xingat foto ni..

coming again to this photo, i think he can be a young Chorrojumo, a self-appointed "gypsy prince" (or king) from Granada, who made his living with tourists-travellers offering himself, idealized image of a gypsy, as companion guide and model to be photographed, what we call now "a souvenir". If so, this portrait could be of some importance, because in the other known ones we see an older person (both in the famous one by García Ayola, from 1880-1890, or in this other one from Señán y González) he died possibly in 1906; take a look also at trousers, boots and cane in this image in wikipedia

jorge dragón: That's really interesting what you tell us. I'd say it's most likely that our bearded fellow here is this man Chorrujumo when you compare his outfit with those on the images you linked to. It would be great if it's the same person! If so, our photo would also be localized to be from Granada. /Anna B.

nice picture! thanks for sharing

Great photograph and topical too with the ongoing Dale Farm situation

So sad to see how they look. They look devastated. Caravan of Gypsies.

Looks like a scene from a musical.

These are definitely Gypsies.

This was a publicity shot for 'The Romany' a 1923 British silent adventure film directed by Floyd Martin Thornton and starring Victor McLaglen, Irene Norman and Harvey Braban. The 'extras' behind the front three actors were real Romany families and their waggons etc.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called hungarian themes: people, building, food, lifestyle, art..., and we'd love to have this added to the group!

I wonder why they were deported.

Here's a link to The New York Times article mentioned in the description (Feb. 12, 1905).

that are my roots

They are Serbian gypsies not Hungarian. My family was Serbian gypsies.. Lostitch family. They did settle on Ellis Island
