Description
A cabinet studio portrait of two boys, John and Gus Burk, by Lawrence, Los Angeles, ca. 1890s. The image shows the boys in full length with one seated on a thick carpeted bench or chair and the other standing. They wear identifical outfits, composed of knee-length trousers, double-breasted coats, bow ties, white shirts, dark knee-length socks and dark high-top boots. Their names are in ink on the reverse. With substantial soiling and staining, foxing, creasing at the upper right and abrasions, the condition is poor.
