Old photo, circa 1900 – 1914.

Price:  $5.00         Size including cardboard frame:  6 and 3/4 x 4 and 1/4″

Another unidentified photo, mounted on cardboard, this time with no mark for the photography studio, showing a cute little girl, about three or four years old, in a light-colored, high-necked dress, wearing a bow, a necklace, and with her hair styled in side ringlets. She wears dark tights and high button shoes, and is standing on the bottom step of a two-step cement stair, next to a low cement block wall, with the leaves of a palm tree and some type of wooden structure showing behind her. It looks like this may have been taken in front of someone’s house or maybe an office building or restaurant, perhaps in Florida or California. I love her direct gaze for the camera.

This photo’s date is estimated to be from about 1900 – 1914. According to numerous websites, the high button shoe style lasted until around WWI when leather was rationed, along with many other items. There is nothing written on the back except for someone’s arithmetic, and the photo and frame are not in the greatest of shape with the corner wear, the uneven sides and a couple of major creases. Ah but the rustic look is in!
