This vintage photograph features a portrait of a farm family. Pictured are likely a mother and father along with their two daughters. Also seen is a middle aged woman sitting side saddle on a donkey and holding a fancy hat. The women on the donkey is possibly the children’s grandmother. The family group is posed in front of a simple house. In the background is an out building. It looks like a barn. This photograph has many interesting features. Note that one child is holding a doll while the other child is holding her pet pug dog. The girls are wearing identical dresses and both have bows in their hair. The father is wearing suspenders and is holding a pipe. There is an antique chair near the house’s front door. Despite it’s poor condition, this photograph is rich in content and social history. The photo was purchased at a shop located in the Texas hill country. (SOLD)
