Description
Sepia-tone photo of six girls in a domestic pose with mirror, table and chair, Hoboken, no date, circa 1880-1885.
Carte-de-visite, 2-1/2" x 4-1/8" high. Photograph by Louis Nagel, 192 Washington Street [old number - modern no. 508], Hoboken. Reverse of mount has photographer's imprint. Girls are not identified.
Each girl is well dressed with some are wearing an apron or overdress. One girl is brushing the hair of a younger one; the girl seated on the floor holds a character doll with its hat on her lap.
This image appears to have some of the same girls as found in photos 2011.005.0112 and .0149, other carte-de-visites from the Nagel Studio. These photos and another Nagel photo dated 1881 (2011.005.0128) were once apparently in the same photo album (donor stated they were not in an album when purchased, but were available at the same time.)
