This cabinet card photograph actually served as a Happy Jewish New Years (L’shana Tova) card. This photograph was likely given to friends and family by the proud parents of the two children seen in the photo. Printed on the card are New Years greetings written in Hebrew, German, and English. This photograph was produced by the Charyn Studio located on Grand Street in New York City.
Victor Charyn (1876-1928) was born in Russia and emigrated to the United States. Some research would likely uncover more biographical information about him. A similar Jewish New Year’s photo from the Charyn Studio can be found at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York City. SOLD
