A photograph of Daniel Matteson from 1873. Taken at the McManus Brothers studio in Traverse City.

Mr. Matteson has a curly hairdo and a goatee. He has a jacket, vest, and a striped bow tie.

Daniel Matteson.

The back of the photograph reveals that it was negative No. 1017, good to know because this helps to date other McManus Brother photos that have the negative number.

Two photographs from the Boswell studio. Unfortunately neither has the name of the person on the back. The William Boswell studio operated in Traverse City from about 1900 to 1906.


The first is a young woman with an unfortunate hairdo. Her light-colored blouse has what looks like a detachable starched collar. A small piece of jewelry is present.


The second photo is of a young man wearing a suitjacket, vest, and a large tie. A small pin and a second piece of jewelry are present on his lapel.
