I have two great photographs to share with you today. This young girl appears to be eight or nine? After the turn of the 20th century, many more photographs were taken outside. This is probably the farm where the children lived. One of this girl alone makes me […]
Today I share two ‘outside’ postcard photographs. These photographs weren’t actually taken outside, but the backdrop used made you think the people in the photographs were enjoying a wonderful day in the woods or at the beach. Both postcards have the AZO symbol where you would place a […]
I adore this picture – the grandmother doesn’t look very pleasant, but perhaps she didn’t want her photo taken. But the granddaughter steals the show, sitting on her riding horse reading a book, ribbon in her hair! Grandmother’s book is on the floor, and a booklet or card […]
Who can resist such sweet photographs? This is a cabinet photo, 4″ x 6.5″, taken in Cincinnati by the French photograph Marceau. On back he posts “The Leading Fotografer”. This curly haired little girl is all light and innocence. This photograph was taken in Caledonia, Ontario. It’s a […]
The photos I share with you today show the progression of women’s fashions during the 1870’s. This was a decade of taking the very full skirts worn by women for 40 years, and narrowing that skirt to fit more closely to the body, which was then eventually gathered […]
These three photographs are a bit of a puzzle – but now we enjoy finding the answers, don’t we? I wanted you to see the three photos as I bought them – they are tintypes in paper sleeves, all very similar but with a different decoration surrounding the […]
So excited to share this photograph with you. You can see those huge leg ‘o mutton sleeves which date this photo to the late 1890’s. In addition, ‘In the 1890’s’ is written on back. But most importantly, the names are written beside each subject. Della, Mamie, Elizabeth, Vesta […]
Our first photograph is probably two sisters. Their dresses are virtually identical, one being a bit lighter in color. Their full bishop sleeves have matching trim at the cuffs and upper arms, as well as the bottom of the skirts. A button-up bodice, is finished with a white […]
I have four photographs to share today, all taken by Rabineau Photography at 9 & 11 North Pearl Street, Albany, New York. This woman is quite lovely in her high-collared dress – white ruffles and lace just touching her chin. She wears a beautiful pin at her throat, […]
I have four delightful photos to share with you today. All are carte de visite photos, 4 x 2.5 inches. Three were taken in Terre Haute, Indiana, including the one above. C. Eppert was the photographer, his shop was located at No. 87 Main Street, between Third and […]
I am a family historian, a genealogist, one who puts families together, who finds those who have been lost for many years and acquaints modern day generations with their ancestors. There's nothing like having a full family tree!
