J.T.: family portrait in a garden, France ca. 1880

Image of J.T.: family portrait in a garden, France ca. 1880

A nice family portrait!
The photographer (named "J.T.") made a fascinating composition. The photographer placed a part of the group in the garden and others are posing in the windows of the large house. Everyone (10 people!) on a specific place to fill the image.
One of the many interesting details is the man in the middle pointing his rifle in the air. Near him a young boy with a wooden wheel toy for playing. The man on the chair is smoking a pipe. One woman with a beautiful hat is posing in the window, another woman wears working clothes. The young girl on the first floor hold a pet, probably a white rabbit.

The uncut albumen pint has a beautiful tonality. The edges are uneven and slightly wrinkled at some places. Signed "J.T." and numbered "185" in the glass negative.

Another print from the same provenance was photographed in Tours, France.

ca. 18,5 x 14 cm
