Description
Book of 141 Antique 19th Cen. Photographs – Young Boys. There are 70 photos of young boys standing, 49 pictures of young boys sitting, and 22 photos featuring vignettes of young boys. The young boys standing feature young boys as young as toddlers to young teens. They are typically standing next to chairs or desks with them either wearing long gowns or beginning to wear trousers in these photos. They are decorated with canes, hats, cross body bags, pocket watches, ties, and outfits inspired by soldiers. Some of the standing photos are retouched with accented color. In the sitting photos, the young boys are usually facing the camera directly or have their arm propped on the armrest. The backgrounds are different and some pictures are retouched with color. Most of those depicted seated are young but there are a few who are older children or young teens. The vignettes are boys as young as toddlers to when they are starting to develop facial hair. The photos are usually from the mid torso up with a few showing their lap. Names and dates mentioned are the following: August 16, 1866, 1862, Sammie Williams, Oliver Ham, David McMains (12 years old), Frank Williams who was the son of Charles Williams and his first wife, Archie from Mansfield, Ohio, Harold F. Ballard, 1899, June 4, 1878, and various other names as well. There are several tintypes included as well and some of the pictures include paper frames. The photos are from photography studios in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, New Hampshire, and several other states in the United States. Several of the photos are retouched to have blush on the cheeks or color on accessories. Toning is visible on the pictures and so are some spots.
