Those are unexpected backdrops for studio portraits--not only the many plants, but also the wall hanging draped behind the seated woman. I wouldn't think plants would be the prop of choice for photographers--too many chances to throw unpredictable shadows. Maybe this was a someone's home, as you mentioned.
1898 – Kodak introduces the Folding Pocket Kodak. 1900 – Kodak introduces their first Brownie, a very inexpensive user-reloadable point-and-shoot box camera. 1901 – Kodak introduces the 120 film format.
Maybe it wasn't so difficult to do "home photos" after all.

ReplyDeleteI with Jacqi - if I had to bet on it, the photo was taken in someone's home.
ReplyDeleteIn 1900-ish, I'm sure this was "do-able" ... but perhaps it wasn't too easy?
