18-20 Elderly Lady (Explored!)
Circa: 1890's
This negative had gotten wet at some point in its lifetime. You can see the mold that had formed along the edges attempting to work its way to the center. Lucky for me it never made it and this lovely face was spared.
In 1978, after 110 years of business, the Childs Art Gallery went out of business. Founded in 1868 by Brainard F. Childs (1841/1842 – 1921), Childs Art Gallery operated photographic studios in Marquette, Houghton and Ishpeming Michigan. Famous for his stereoscopic views, “Gems of Lake Superior”, Child’s Art Gallery went on to dominate the portrait business and win many awards. This Glass Negative represents the quality of their art form and I’m pleased to have it in my collection.
