Our Favorite Things (Unidentified Glass-Plate Image)

Our Favorite Things

This is "No. 5." Same parlor as No. 4, and some of the same people, though our badge-wearing friend is gone. The man seated at the right in this photo was in the previous one. So too was the elderly lady at left, I believe, and maybe even the woman in the middle — it's hard to tell with her face so overexposed.

And they each picked some object to be photographed with. Who would have thought that work-roughened man would choose a cute little doggie statuette? The young man with his cornet (or is it a trumpet? I can't tell the difference) … the woman in the middle with her book … the woman at left isn't holding anything, but I think maybe the man in the portrait was her favorite thing.
