Early Portraits

An early family portrait from the 1890's.Being years before electricity came to the town,alot of potraits e.t.c. would of been taken outside because of the availability of light.Indoor studio portaits were either taken by using flash or gas light.
Again a card very typical of the style of photography of the time.These small 'Cartes-de-visite' were all the rage of the day.
