1890s Childrens Portraits

This is my second to last batch of turn of the century photo scans, and I’ve divided them roughly into “children” and “adults”. One of the little girls’ photos had a small picture fall out from the backing of the cardboard when I picked it up to scan, and I’ve included a scan of it [...]

Turn of the century Children’s photos – from 1906

I found a date on these turn of the century children’s and family photos I scanned. On the back of the photo of the young woman in a white dress by St. Louis photographer J. Hass, was written “1906″ (which I also scanned). I’m guessing that the other photos in this group were also from the [...]

St. Louis Turn of the Century Family Photography

I wish I could date this un-credited photo of a worried young soldier… was it the 1890s, or earlier? I also can’t date the un-credited family photo, which is fading. Here is an interesting scan of a very proper young man, by When, and I also scanned the back of it. I think that Block [...]

Turn of the century photos from Crescent Studios, J. Haas, Setzer, and Parsons of St. Louis Mo

This first old photo of a girl with glasses in a white dress looks really silly. I feel sorry for her!

I appreciate the interesting background that Setzer used in his photo of the toddler in a white [...]

Turn of the century photos by St. Louis Photographers

I am not sure how these photos were ordered, or if there is any order. In this batch that I digitally preserved, there is a photo of a baby taken by When Studios, dated 1893; Parsons Studio, J. Haas,  Genelli, Theo E. Setzer, G. Schneidt, Boehl & Koenig – these last old photos have no [...]

1800s Photos from St. Louis, MO

This is my final set from the first batch of old photos. They appear to be taken mostly by St. Louis city photographers and photographers who were in the Carondelet neighborhood at the turn of the century. The two boys’ eyes haunt one photo, taken by Star Gallery… What silly looking turn of the century [...]

More scanned photos from the turn of the century St. Louis Photographers

These are more from the When Studio, with a different kind of back print, a totally unmarked old photo, my first from Crescent Studios, and J. Haas took some very proper looking headshots of young men. What grabs my eye from this batch is the interesting bridal photo with the bride in a black or [...]
