Studio Portrait with Non-Studio Artwork

From the Schavey envelope collection.

Unidentified young couple, probably in a photographer's studio, to judge by the formal pose, blank background, and excellent lighting and focus.

I can't judge the date; I hope it isn't from the 1920s, because I just got through ranting about how much I hate 1920s fashions, and yet I love her dress. More specifically, I love those crazy, off-the-wall decorations on her dress.

Some unknown child has used the blank back to draw in pencil.

Too bad most of that artwork was lost to glue and an album page.
