About this scrapbook page: |
The lady of the picture: unknown. I searched everywhere: no information. Nevertheless a date: the photo was made in 1889. Initially (until c.1890) most photographs would be cartes-de-visite which were small approximately 80mm x 40mm (3.1 in X 1.6 in) portrait views on thick card with the back given over to an impressive engraved advertisement for the photographer; later the larger Cabinet Cards (165 x 110mm) (6.5 in - 4.3 in) became the norm.

Often some indication of a date can be obtained by looking at the address or other information (e.g. reproductions of awards obtained at the numerous exhibitions) on this face. Post 1900 the slightly smaller postcard format became the norm. Most views would be studio views using a standard backdrop or props (including a tired old donkey!) - thus it is sometimes possible to date photos by comparing these… Kit: “Exes and Ohs -SFH” by Lorene-Digital Diva (Lorene Hill)

Who only gave this 7 pts????? Love this one Rose-Marie. As everyone says lovely colouring and love the blended background. Photographers worked very hard for their craft way back in those days. (Thanks for links).
