X Mas Greetings J Oliver Armstrong
Here we have our first Christmas Greeting and a clue that the photo was taken in Kansas City, Mo
It is a very thin paper photo attached to the majestic folder at a price of $3.75 per 100.
Thanks for stopping by.
The child almost looks like a doll. Amazing that the photographer got such a great smile in focus of the child and nada of dad.
ReplyDeleteZeno Thomas Briggs supplied the photography materials - as to where the photo was taken and by whom, it isn't clear. Briggs died on Aug. 13, 1935 in Santa Barbara, California. He started in Atchison, KS and moved to Kansas City some time between 1904 and 1910. He is Find A Grave Memorial# 80005627.
