Tuesday Tagging - A Family & One Shocked Little Girl

From Callaway Collection of Photographs, Unidentified Family
Do you know who this family might be?


P00005 - "A Family & One Shocked Little Girl"
Albumin Print, circa 1860 - 1890
Costume, circa 1880s

Costume is similar to style found on 1881 postcard fashion print - notice the drop waist on the girls' dresses. This is the polonaise style consisting of a drop waist and false pleated skirt.
