Unknown Merseyside Family c. 1900s
Turned up in an auction junk lot. From "The Photographic Studio" of Albert Cuyp Malkin, 449 New Chester Rd, Rock Ferry. Malkin's dates are 1839 - 1920. He began his photographic career in 1860 when he set up a studio in Holloway Road, Islington, London. He established studios in Liverpool in 1868 before opening four studios on the Wirral between 1887 and 1906. It's likely that this family group photo would be of a Liverpool or Wirral family. Notice the lace collars on the children. Were these done by someone within the family? Some age markings but still a nice, affecting image.
