Girl Holding Photo and Standing on Chair

Girl Holding Photo and Standing on Chair
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of photos in photos (photos that intentionally or inadvertently capture one or more photos displayed in frames, on walls, or elsewhere).

After searching all week for a photo in a photo that I hadn't already posted, I was pleased when I finally found this one in my collection. It's a cabinet card photograph of a little girl who's holding a photo in her hand as she stands on a chair to pose for a photographer named "Fordtran" who had studio locations in "Kensington, Blue Island, and Riverdale" in the Chicago area (the name and locations are embossed on the border along the bottom of the card).

I cropped the photo for a close-up of the girl, and I edited and rotated a portion of the image so you can see the photo that the girl's holding. I uploaded all three files and then added them to various albums.

As I was adding them to Cabinet Cards and CDVs, I decided to look through that album. That's when I discovered that I had already posted an earlier scan of this photo almost five years ago under the title, Girl Holding Photograph, along with a rotated version of the photo in her hand.

So even though you may have already seen the five-year-old photo, this is a nice fresh version created specifically for the Vintage Photos Theme Park! 8)

(For some reason, this silly situation reminds me of my adventures with the Cowson Farm photo.)

What a sweet, intelligent little face she has.
I have also experienced the happiness of finding a picture I hadn't used before only to find I really had posted it before. So annoying!
I wonder if the photo she's holding was a prop given to the children who posed for this photographer or whether it's this little girl's sibling, who has died and is being memorialized this way?

Another classic from your amazing collection. Charming little girl and such an incredibly crisp print to be able to get that close-up in such detail. Wow.
