Found Photographs

Found in Warrensburg, NY, October 2013, in an album possibly from Glens Falls, NY area. 1920s.

Found cyanotype in Bristol, VT No information. Mounted on thin cardboard. I wonder if she is a servant? Looks like she's wearing her apron for a photograph.

It was very hard to get a good reproduction of this glass plate negative, due to the exposure, snow, etc. My son re-scanned it on my new scanner, but I think this copy is actually the best - with all its faults. I didn't notice until I overexposed it, that she is carrying a large muff, and that her dress is a tartan pattern. I like her little bag (lunchbox?)

Posted for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of "Weather". Found photo, Ferisburgh, Vermont. 1920s.

Hand colored.

The "Michigan Album" is an album of a family that seem to be from that state - an outdoor family who clearly loved nature, their animals, hunting and fishing. I believe that someone in the family took many of the photos. The album begins in 1908 and finishes in 1915. The album has some wonderful photographs - and I got it for $12! Probably the best deal of my collecting life.
