OLD MAN AND HIS DOG IN LUVERNE, MINNESOTA

An old man and his dog pose for their portrait at the studio of O. S. Myhre in Luverne, Wisconsin. The gentleman has “dressed up” for his portrait. Interestingly, the subject is sitting on what appears to be an uncomfortable stool while the dog (labrador retriever?) gets to lie down on the more comfortable wicker chair.

FASHIONABLE SIBLINGS IN LUVERNE, MINNESOTA (c 1894)

This cabinet card photograph captures a brother and sister posing for their portrait at the Holden studio in Luverne, Minnesota. The brother presents an appearance typical of boys in cabinet cards of this era. His sister, however, looks like a “little lady” in her presentation. The photographer is W. F. Holden who was a photographer in Minnesota in the 1880’s and 1890’s. His studio was in Luverne between 1894 and 1895. He worked in Preston, Minnesota between 1898 and 1899.
