Vintage 1920s Snapshot Photo Woman & Girl Outdoor Portrait Decorative Border — photo 1 of 2

Photo 1 of 2

About this piece

Vintage sepia-toned real photo print, likely gelatin silver, featuring a young woman standing behind a girl on grass at what appears to be an outdoor gathering — a long low building (possibly a pavilion or camp hall) and other figures, including a man in a hat at the right edge, are visible in the background. The print carries a decorative printed geometric border, a style popular on photofinishing paper in the 1910s–1920s; the woman's bobbed hairstyle and the girl's dress support an early-20th-century, likely 1920s, dating, though no printed date is present.

Verso: unmarked except a small stamped "D47," likely a studio or negative reference number — no names, places, or dates are written on the back.

Measurements:
• Width: 4.8"
• Height: 3.2"

Condition: VG — border and image intact; relationship between the two subjects and exact location are not confirmed.

Item will be securely packaged and shipped quickly.
