More Pain and Misery

Stored with the many happy portraits in the Simmons Studio collection are pictures of people who have been injured and are hoping to get compensation from insurance companies.

This poor lady certainly looks like she's in pain.


My knees hurt just looking at this guy.


Our photographer wasn't asked to record only human suffering.  The next few images are graphic, gruesome, and will be hard for historic automobile lovers to view.






I warned you.

If anyone knows the people or the cars and can tell the story about these pictures please leave a note in the comment section.

OUCH!

Not everyone who went to Simmons Studio did so to record a happy event.  This man came to document injuries he suffered.  These photographs were filed under Medical Insurance.  I hope he got something for his time and misery.




Pants that button instead of zip and a thin waist.  This was obviously taken before McDonalds and other fast food restaurants came to town.

As usual, if anyone knows this poor fellow and the story behind these pictures, please leave a comment.
