Do you know who this might be?
P00007 - "The Couple"
Albumin Print, circa 1860 - 1890
Costume, circa ?
The man and the woman are wearing suit and dress that appear to be ill fitted and indistinguishable for a particular time period. The curtained background and the dress lead me to believe that this is a portrait studio scene. If that is the case, the clothes may have been borrowed from the studio for this picture. In which case, the clothes do not help me narrow down the time frame.
Another interesting element to notice is their body language. They are standing close together but how would you define their relationship? Married... Engaged... Family Relations?
Tell me what you think and why.
