Description
Group of 116 Antique 19th Cen Photos – Siblings. Included is a collection of 116 antique 19th century photographs which were professionally taken at photograph studios. In these photos, there is the depiction of siblings at various ages from toddlers to people in old age. For the photos depicting young children, there is often the older child who appears to be a toddler standing next to their younger baby sibling who is propped on a chair. In most of the photos, there are only 2 siblings but there are several with 3 or 4 siblings pictured. The photographed subjects sometimes hold hats, rackets, umbrellas, or other props in their hands. There are other photos where they have their arms folded on tables or hands on a nearby chair. Several photos are of an individual but it is clear from the set design that they went in with a sibling to take photos. There are several photos where the subject is retouched with blush on their cheeks, a colored ascot, or some accessory on them that is colored after the photo had been developed. The photos are from Cleveland, Ohio, Westfield, MA, Eureka, Humboldt Co., CA, Zionsville, Indiana, New York, Connecticut, and many more states across the country in various professional photography studios. Several cards bear Civil War-era federal revenue tax stamps. The clothing worn is a mixture of dark or light clothes depending on the age or gender of the subject with a lot of variety. Names include 4 siblings: Ruth, Barbara, Hazel, and Schley. 3 siblings, around 1890, named Ana, Grace, and Pearl photographed in Shreve, Ohio. Marcia and Maude Estabrook who were 3.5 and 9.5 and then a photograph of Hazel Trumell Rowe who was the daughter of Horace L Rowe with the photograph taken in 1901 or 1902. Her sibling’s name is written on the back as well. Melvin and Adolphus Naylor with one born on May 11, 1856 are photographed together. There are a few other names which are written on the back of cards but the majority features the names of the photography studio where it was taken. Toning can be seen on the paper and there are a few tintypes as well. Spots can also be seen. There is a tintype with a gold toned frame around it.
