Unfortunately, I can’t read the back and decipher the name of the studio:
It might say the name of the photographer, then Store and Gallery, 91 West Baltimore, Baltimore, Maryland.
A Child Photographed in Baltimore (Louisa Evans’ album)
Category: Powell Hotel Albums
Lillie Hatcher (from Louisa Evans’ album)
The back of the photograph seems to say Lillie Hatcher, but I’m not certain. I do love the young lady’s clothing and hair!
The photograph was taken by a studio in Richmond, Virginia. I have tried to find a Lillie Hatcher in Virginia census records that would be correct age for this photo, and the closest I found was a lady born in 1873. (Of course, her name could actually have been Lillian or something else.)
Louisa Evans Album, 5th picture
No information on where the picture was taken, unfortunately. It looks like the young man is trying to start to grow a blond mustache!
Louisa Evans Album, 4th picture
After an embarrassing number of years, I am putting up at least one more of the pictures from Louisa Evans’ album! Love the typography from the back of the picture:
Louisa Evans’ Album: 4th photo
No identification, no studio name. He has a nice ear, I guess. (I think he was trying to grow a blond mustache.)
Louisa Evans’ Album: 3rd photo
The third photo from the Louisa A. Evans’ album was taken at the Richmond Photograph Co. at 827 1/2 Broad Street in Richmond, Virginia.
The gentleman does appear to have a watch fob/chain near his waist, but the blob above that seems to be damage to the photograph.
I love the typography and design on the back of the photo! And, yes, the back really is that pink-ish color. The picture on the front has a boarder of the same pink, which I cropped digitally away.
Louisa Evans’ Album: 2nd photo
The second photograph in the Louisa A. Evans’ album was taken at the Kuhn & Cummins studio on 48 and 50 N. Charles Street in Baltimore, Maryland.
She dressed up well for this portrait, with her earring, corsage, elaborate lace and pin at her throat, and her crimped/curled fringe on her forehead.
1st Photo in Louisa Evans’ album
The first photograph in Louisa A. Evans’ album.
I love the little collar she is wearing! The photograph was taken at A.H. Blunt’s studio in Danville, Virginia.
