Three unidentified McManus Brothers photographs. 

A bearded man wearing a suit jacket and tie. His eyes have been retouched.


A young woman holding a violin and bow. She has a large comb on top of her head. The printed backdrop is barely visible.


A smaller carte de vista photograph of a man in a suit jacket, shirt, and bow tie.

A photograph from an Ebay seller in Kalamazoo, Michigan. No name on the back. This is from the McManus Brothers studio. The young girl poses in front of a backdrop with elaborate printed furniture. Her arm rests against the back of a chair, with a cloth-covered table behind her, several books stacked on top. Behind the girl's feet you can see the feet of a stand used to help hold her still. The girl's eyes have been highlighted. She wears a print dress with lace at the collar, yoke, and sleeves; as well as a necklace.
