Photo Number 375

Gouple  and Child group Royalton Antique Shop

This must be a family.. Father and Mother and child. We have many extremes here between the mothers many finger waves and that one “out of place” pin curl ( it must have been very in fashion) and the little girls haircut with the lopped off bangs. The Mothers flapper style dress with a single string of pearls..and the little girls bared shoulders in some kind of frothy creation, which I see as seafoam green..because I see the little girl as a red head. What do you see?

This is a photo with no markings other than the photographer who was Chris Raven of Wadena, Minnesota.  He was in business from 1912 to 1914, and then during 1918 and 1922.  I will pick the 1922 date for this photograph, I believe it is a good fit for the 1920’s.  Photographers often moved from place to place..at least in Minnesota. Apparently photography was a hard business to become established in, but these young men and women kept trying.  I purchased this photo in an Antique Shop in Royalton, Minnesota.

Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
