Nina and her dishes




Nina Bloom standing by a china cupboard filled with dishes she received as a wedding gift from her new husband, Reverend Olaf A Anderson. The were married March 11, 1907.
OH MY! This conj ours up all sorts of questions, doesn't it for you?
We can see the picture was taken indoors by the print in the wallpaper and the moulding near the ceiling. How did they take this picture indoors? Is that a gun powder flash on the finish of the china cabinet? Was it taken with one of those cameras were you take 100 pictures and then send it back to the factory for processing? If so, where are the other 99 pictures? Or was it taken with rollfilm in a Brownie which came into being about this time?
Why is she wearing a coat and hat? Is the hat beaver?
Does anyone have a piece of the china? Did anyone see the china cupboard? Look at the shelf liner, is the embroidered? Was that common?
Jump into the past!
