This week's Sepia Saturday theme can be interpreted in a "number" of ways, but I am going with the idea of a trio of people. I actually will be on vacation starting Friday so am posting my entry early for a change!
This odd sized photograph is from the 1890's and most likely of a mother and her two daughters. Odd sized photographs came into fashion in the 1890's and while I can't find a name for this type of photo which measures approximately 2 7/8 x 7 7/8, it probably is one of the many specialty cards of the those times. The photographer signed his name in pencil; the first name is unreadable but the last name is Townsend. You may notice the card has an embossed emblem at the bottom which appears to have a "T" for the photographer's initial. Unfortunately, there is no identification of our subjects.
The mother is wearing a white shirtwaist blouse, small dark bowtie, glasses and Gibson Girl hairstyle. Her two girls are wearing dark clothes.
