OLD family photo (possible historical interest)

from Mike Dixon (burmashave@compuserve.com)

This photo was stuck in the back of an old portrait frame my father bought at an estate sale. I don't know who the people or the photographer were.

The print itself is on a very thin paper base which is mounted to thick card stock (very yellowed and cracked). It's a contact print--there absolutely no grain evident in the approx. 6.5" by 8.5" image.

I'm not sure if it's apparent in the scan, but the photo was made in the studio--on the original, it's clear that the "room" behind them is just a painted backdrop (notice the edge at the feet of the woman on the left of the photo).

Just thought y'all might enjoy seeing what has changed and what has remained the same over the years.
