Antique Victorian Studio Portrait Photograph ~ Studious Catherine in Carved Chair

Collectibles : Photographic : Victorian : Photograph : Child : Catherine

 

This is one of several Victorian Photographs of this little girl Catherine that have been listed in this shop. Here she is pictured in a very intricately carved chair. There are two of these photographs which allow us to see more of the chair's details because Catherine sits on the arm of the chair. The design of the chair alone makes these photographs ones of interest and then young Catherine sitting on the chair arm "reading" a book in this one, or smiling sweetly in the other, adds another dimension of appeal to these photographs. These would look nice framed and hung beside of each other. In both of the photos she is wearing a white ruffled dress that she has worn in photographs year after year which changed in fit as she grew. This studio photo is one of several poses that were done apparently on the same day. I had estimated her age in these as maybe 5 or 6 years old (which would have dated the photograph around 1905), but actually in perspective of some of the other dated pictures, I believe she is closer to three or four making the photograph a few years older than originally thought. Currently, still available, there are other photos of her as an Infant, an older baby, and others as a little girl probably taken the same day as this one. After purchasing this lot of pictures, I was able to track a small portion of Catherine and her older brother Hugh's lives from infant to young adulthood. THIS PHOTOGRAPH IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. The actual photo measures approximately 5 3/4" x 3 1/4" and comes affixed to a heavier stock studio portrait paper that measures 11 3/4" x 8" and is within a well cared for studio folder that is "hinged" with a bow closure. PLEASE SEE OTHER PHOTOGRAPHS AVAILABLE OF CATHERINE.
