PHOTOGRAPH (COPY): PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG GIRL AND BOY

« Prev Item Next Item »

c. 1914

Overview

Black and white copy of a photograph of a young girl and boy. The girl is sitting on a log and is wearing a long sleeved shirt and shorts with her hair in ringlets. The younger boy is sitting on the ground on the left, wearing a short sleeved shirt and shorts. A bucket and long handled spade can be seen in on the ground in front of the girl. The background of the original photograph of which the copy was made can be seen to the right of the image.

Historical information

Enlargement in Box N. The original large photographs were found in the loft of a house in Subiaco that used to be a photographic studio. Attempts were made to identify the photographer and subjects without success. Perhaps the photos were never collected by the subjects. Uniforms are 1914, so probable that rest of photographs of this era. All copy photographs show bad condition of original, marks, edges missing.
