Product Description
Okay... One can only speculate vaguely about the origins of old photos. I purchased a good size lot of beautiful old photographs from an antique show vendor in Rockland Maine about ten years ago.

Many of the photos in this particular lot were of the same subjects; a stout and intense looking dark-haired woman and her two sons.... no dad to be seen.

At first I thought she must be a widow but later decided she must be the wife of a merchant sea captain. These are obviously very wealthy people and are dressed to the nines!

Photography sessions at the turn of the century were very costly... only the most wealthy people could have their photos taken and only the super rich could have lots and lots taken.

This 9 1/2" x 6 1/4" heavy card is in okay condition with a darkened edge in the upper left hand corner. Its embossed in the lower right hand corner: Holmes Rockland Maine

The rest of the history of this piece will never be known...

This gorgeous antique photograph is the Real Deal... not a scanned photocopy or a download.
