I did not even want to look at the price tags on these dolls....they were so pretty and seemed to be in such GOOD condition. ~~ Looks like you could just step into this picture...doesn't it ?
This is a Father, and his two sons.....kind of a rare thing having them all in uniform at the same time... I am guessing. This picture was taken in about 1912... The man in the middle was an active duty police officer in Chicago.
Both his sons were serving in the Armed Forces as well.
You need to click on... and enlarge this to truly appreciate it's beauty... the Victorian's certainly knew how to do it right. This is not even a headstone, it's just part of a wall in a Victorian Garden ! My good friend Diane was on vacation out East recently..and she sent me this image.. along with a few more that you will be seeing..after I edit them. I changed it into a two-toned color/ sepia. Rose
