A dressed up little boy holding a horn instrument poses for his portrait in Port Jervis, New York. I am unsure if his horn is a toy or a real musical instrument. Hopefully a musically inclined visitor to this site will leave a comment about the instrument. Note the child’s high shoes and bow tie. The photograph is a product of the Allerton studio. William H. Allerton operated his studio in Port Jervis during the 1880’s. During at least some of that time, he also ran a combined refreshment pavilion and photography studio in Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania.
A family poses for their portrait at the photographic studio of Lundelius & Masterson in Port Jervis, New York. This family looks quite intense; maybe even in shock. They look like they just found out they had their entire savings invested with Bernie Madoff. Oops, wrong time period.
