An unusual photograph.

The woman is unidentified, but the back of the photo has a date stamp- MAR 23 1891, with the date to be delivered 3/30 and the picture number  7730-3327. Besides providing an approximate date for the photograph being taken (and therefore, for the style of the mark used by McManus Brothers in 1891), the back matter also provides an idea about the ordering process.




Photograph was purchased from an Ebay seller in Florida.

Willimina Youker. 2 yrs.

Haven't been able to identify this young girl. The photograph was probably taken after 1900.


Embossed mark McManus Bros.
