This is a nice one for Memorial Day or 4th of July. This old picture shows a young girl wearing a patriotic costume, including a crown and a large American flag. Such nice sepia tones here!

ReplyDeleteI love your blog and visit it daily. I was surprised (to say the least) when I saw todays image of the young lady with the flag. I believe this photo came from a stereograph by F.G.Weller of Littleton, NH. He is the brother of my great-grandfather and the picture that you posted is of FG Weller's daughter, Fontinelle Weller.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the wonderful images that you post!
I love it! I am using it in my banners, I hope that's okay. Give me a visit, I'd love to have you over. Thank you Karen:)

Hi Randall3,
ReplyDeleteOh, that's so interesting!! You are absolutely correct this is from an old stereograph card. The majority of my images come from my own collections, but occasionally I do use images from archived sources, this is one of those images. I generally clean them up a bit before posting to give my readers the best quality images possible, that's why you are seeing this as a single image. Thanks so much for your comment, and for the background info on your ancestor, dear little Fontinelle!
Love her!! Her crown is great!

Charming image. But she has such an odd expression with a hint of a frown? Wonder what's going through her mind? But a lovely image and you're right, the sepia tones are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing!
