Someone’s First Communion (or Confirmation). Perhaps a sister and a brother. Religious photos are few and far between, I got this one at the Antique Shop in Dorset, Minnesota. No names and no photographers name. Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
What a very special photo.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and your new banner design is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI like how the boy's pants are tucked into his high boots.
ReplyDeleteIs this photo "tucked" into a heavy paper "sleeve" of sorts? The mounting looks a bit unusual.
Iggy, I think he is wearing knickers, with dark stockings and high topped shoes..but it is hard to tell. With the darkness of the photo it all disappears.
ReplyDeleteYes it is in a folder of sorts, I have scanned it in it's entirety..it is just paper folded up on the top and on the bottom:)
those looks like boots...
ReplyDeleteDoes this photo have that reflective silver in it? Based on the photo sleeve, I'm going 1920s here. This is a great photo!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo, lots to look at in this one also which is great.
ReplyDeleteNorkio, Nope no reflective silver in this photo. It is a true sepia tone:)
ReplyDeleteHold your candles up straight and strong. Interesting clothing.
ReplyDeleteI am doing a post this sunday on antique religious photography and would like to include this photo. Please let me know if you would rather I didn't. I, of course, will credit the source and link to your blog in the text.
