Where's GLADYS KALLMAN?

This weeks Sepia Saturday post is again "Where's Gladys Kallman?"

There is nothing written on the back of this photo, but from previous posts about Gladys I think you should be able to find her.

I really love these kids. A bunch of fine characters. It seems to have been a theme for this photographer to have kids pose with a favorite toy. I've found others online.

Now, settle in and find Gladys.

Think of all the life stories here. The expressions on the kids faces speak volumes. Perfect jumping off points for numerous stories.

Click here, here, and here to see similar photos by the same photography studio, Frances Thompson Studio in San Francisco. And here is another photo that is for sale showing the kids holding toys.

This photo is from the George Kallman estate.

I have not found any historical information about the photographer.

UPDATE: Reader Paul A. Peterson has provided the following information about the photographer, Frances Thompson. Thanks Paul and I'm envious of your collection.

The photographer, Frances Thompson, was born 26 Jan 1867 in CA, and died 10 May 1947 in San Francisco, CA. Her mother's maiden name is Satterler. In about 1912, Frances married a clergyman, Webster Loring Clark (1865-1946). In 1935, she operated a studio located at 545 Post St., San Francisco. I own 19 examples of her work, class photos dating from 1914 to 1935.

I have a new design up at Cafe Press, My ABC's, perfect for the little grade school students in the house. Or maybe the teacher who teaches them. Then again, at my age a little visual aid for memory purposes is always helpful!
