2 photographic prints on album page : gelatin silver, sulfur toned.


This 1912 album page contains two gelatin silver prints with sulfur toning by Samuel H. Gottscho. The photographs show a child on a beach and come from an album titled "Early years," which included family images, self portraits, landscapes, and architectural interiors.

No information about the child's identity or the specific location is recorded. The album title suggests these were personal photographs from Gottscho's own collection, though the archive does not specify whether the child was related to the photographer or the circumstances under which these images were made.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
