Description
Collection of 112 Antique 19th Cen. Photos – Children. There are 40 pictures of infants and 72 pictures of toddlers with these categories being divided by a tab in the archival book. Dates mentioned are 1876, 1885, August 6 188-, December 12, 1915, 1891, March 21, 1896, 1879, and 1877. These photos were taken across cities in the United States such as Hackensack, NJ, Rochester, NH, Minneapolis, MN, Pittsburgh, PA, Norway, Me, Wisconsin, Indiana, and many more states in several studios. The children are featured either sitting on a chair, standing on them for toddlers, or standing next to a prop. Most of the children are unsmiling, with the exception of one child smiling at the camera from a wash basin. Names written on the back are Julia Moffatt Mitchell, Lula Reid, Edna Mcclung, Della Clark, Carrie Degood, Nora A Sanford, Ralph D. Lydcocker, Jessie B. Emmerson (at 18 months old), and Irene Hall. These photos are mounted on paper holders with the names of the photography studio either at the bottom on the front or on the back. There are several tintypes and photos that do not have a frame. Toning can be seen on several photos alongside retouching to add blush to the cheeks of the children. These photographs were collected to study fashion of the era.
