It has been over a month since I’ve shared a page from my cabinet card album.
Dresses, dresses and more dresses. I love it! The left side is, I assume, Mother and two daughters.
Unfortunately, there is no photographers stamp so I can’t tell where they came from. The plaid on the older daughters dress is fun isn’t it? And the younger daughter has lovely trim on her dress as well.
That trim makes me think they may have had a bit of money. I think the photograph is from the 1880’s judging by the hair style and dresses.
The other side is a mother, two daughters and a son. When I zoom in on the faces of the women, I think they are actually the same people but years later. I can’t seem to make my screen shot work so if you are keen you will have to do it manually.
…Manitou Manitoba Canada, which is just North of the North Dakota border.
On the back of this last photograph there is writing.
To Lucy.
That implies that, if this album is full of friends and family (and not a random collection of a collector like myself) then one of the owners is named Lucy!
More clues!
