History
This collection of vintage photograph frames contains images of sisters dating back to 1910, during the Edwardian era when studio portrait photography was becoming more accessible to middle-class families. The cardboard matting and simple frame designs are typical of commercial portrait photography from the early 20th century, with the photographs showing expected aging and fading characteristic of silver gelatin prints from this period. Family photograph collections featuring identified siblings from the early 1900s hold significant genealogical and historical value. These named portraits of sisters are particularly sought after by family historians, collectors of women's history memorabilia, and museums documenting everyday life during the Edwardian period. The inclusion of names and the specific date (1910) enhances their value considerably, as they provide concrete documentation of specific individuals during a pivotal historical period.
