I happened to hit the store the day the dealer had a 50% off sale.

Then you'd know the names and ages of these girls, the date, the location. I have all those questions in my mind. Aside from that, I just love the photograph for its own sake.

And their pose, their foot position, is so strange. <br /><br />I think it was a late Fall day with a breeze because both of the dresses seem to be blowing slightly int eh same direction.<br /><br />I can't tell if anyone else is at the upper windows. I can see what looks like a lamp in the downstairs window.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed it.

When I went to a recent estate sale late I figured there would be nothing left. I was stunned at some of the things I found and wondered why they'd been left. I guess they didn't speak to the early birds. I don't know why this one of the house and girls was not bought. I love it.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-67126193864909178442010-08-28T08:44:11.947-11:002010-08-28T08:44:11.947-11:00The older girl is standing funny..and her shoes lo...The older girl is standing funny..and her shoes look too large..perhaps she was making do.

Obviously it was added as an after thought. Or perhaps it is a temporary seasonal device.

I bought a handful of old photographs at a antiques fair yesterday but it was the really old, torn and seemingly uninteresting ones - the ones the dealer through in for nothing - that were by far the most interesting when I came to examine them at home.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-44429039172116700632010-08-27T18:21:12.526-11:002010-08-27T18:21:12.526-11:00Looks like a first day of school picture.

I imagine the door on the left was the parlor door and the one on the right led into a hallway. I remember the house my grandfather was born and raised in had two such doors. You can still find them in very old sections of towns and farmhouses.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-54332352086023032432010-08-27T08:59:24.854-11:002010-08-27T08:59:24.854-11:00That's a really interesting building.

Wonder if it's a duplex or something like that and one door leads in at ground level and the other to a stair to the upstairs? <br /><br />NorkioWhoWereTheyhttp://whowerethey.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
