Photo Number 775

This week we will look at some parents and or grandparents with small children.

I purchased this CdV at the antique shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.

Mother and Child CdV Foreign Dl Antiques

The mother and child are both very beautiful. This is a foreign CdV.  The child’s plaid dress with the large collar and long bow in the back is really cute!

Towards the top there is a date 1908.  Tromso is a village in Norway that is North of the Artic Circle. They say the Northern Lights are fantastic there in the winter.  I think I might like to visit there.

Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)

  1. The photographer is Christian Hansen, 1863-1935. He had a studio in Tromsø from 1897 until he died, after which a daughter with husband took over, and from 1976 a grandson. The studio, still called "Chr. Hansen", closed in 1999.

  9. Since the Sun has spewed out a great deal of particles lately Norway has had a fantastic show in the sky several nights in a row. Even in the southern parts where I live.
