This is someones Uncle Ira. The photo was taken by A. Brandmo. His Photography Studio was in Montevideo, Minnesota from 1886 to 1896. This is a young Ira, maybe 13 or 14 years old.

A fine picture. What is he looking for so earnestly in the middle distance? And did he find it in his life?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the photo was given to his Uncle Ira? The labeling is a little... ambiguous.
ReplyDeleteHe is an ernest looking chap. Almost certainly dead now - unless he's extraordinarly long lived.
Another interesting photo from long ago. Love his clothes.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, I do love his important and earnest look!
ReplyDeleteHandsome young man. I hope that his life turned out as nicely as his portrait.
