Antique & Vintage Photographs

This is a carte de visite photograph that is 4¼ x 2½ inches (105x64mm).

It shows a studio portrait of two children posing next to a faux-rock prop. The older child stands on the left wearing a dark dress with a striped front panel, while a hat with dark ribbons and a glove rest on the prop beside her. The younger child sits on the right wearing a dark suit, white collar, and tie, holding a dark rectangular object that appears to be a book or slate. The bottom of the mount is printed with 'WHITE' and 'IPSWICH.'

The reverse has the printed studio details 'JOHN WHITE, 18, BROOK STREET, IPSWICH.' along with a 'JW' monogram. Additional printed text reads 'COPIES OF THIS PORTRAIT MAY BE OBTAINED AT ANY TIME OR IT MAY BE ENLARGED & FINISHED IN ANY STYLE.' and 'TRAPP & MÜNCH, BERLIN.' A handwritten name 'G. Fiske' is visible in the top right corner, and '1.50' is written upside down in the bottom right.
