Figure 1.-- Here we have a family portrait contributed by a reader. Iy vwas taken in a home rather than a studio portrait. The portait is undated, but we would guess was taken in the 1910s based on the hair styles and clothing. In adduriin, home portraits were not very common in the 1890s. We are guessing this is a work of a studio which did home work or an itinerant photographer.

We are guessing this is a work of a studio which did home work or an itinerant photographer. We note quite a few home portraits after the turn-of-the-20th century, most, however were taken outside the home because of the lighting and slow emulsions of the film. The inside of the home looks to us like a lower-middl-0class or a working class family, albeit a prosperous one. There are three children who look to be about 5-10 years old, two girls and a boy. The girls wear white dresses. The boy wears a white sailor suit. We assume that the family was English, but they could be Irish.
