Book of 113 Antique 19th Cen. Photographs – Couples and Family. There are 55 photographs of married couples and 58 photographs of family and friends. The photographs of the married couples typically feature the man sitting and the woman standing with her hand on his shoulder or chair. There are some photographs where both subjects are standing or sitting together. On some of the tintypes, there are scenic backgrounds with the women wearing trendy clothing. There is one tintype which features a woman in a white gown which could possibly be the gown she wore for her wedding day. There are a few papers about one subject whose name is Ephrahras Hinsdale Phelps who was born on December 31, 1812 in Northampton, MA and married Mary Gardner Morse on December 14, 1831 in Hope, IL, and they had 8 children together. For the family and friends section, women are the main subject of the photographs. In the majority of the photographs, the subjects are seated with the exception of a few where all parties are standing.
