1900-1920
(Full size) 
(Close-up) This photo, being sold on Ebay by myuneekfinds, is
either of a nurse or a maid from the late 1800s to the early
1900s. I think she is probably a maid because she by the fire and
her outfit (especially the cap) look more like a maid's. She is a
pretty young lady, and the intriguing background room looks almost like
a flat painting. She is holding a book or pamphlet on her lap.
This photo was being sold on Ebay by ball-cards. It's
a late 1800s to early
1900s dress. She appears to be wearing a bracelet or two.
And look at the oriental rug next to her! (I cropped the original
rounded corners.)
This sweet photo was given to us because it was being thrown out by
someone. (It was torn in two, but I restored it on the
computer.) - I believe it was taken in the early
1900s. The girl on the left is wearing a lace-trimmed gown, a
necklace, stockings, and button-up boots. The woman is sitting in
a large wooden chair. She wears glasses on a string, a patterned
dress with lace trim, a lace blouse, a cameo necklace, boots, and what
looks like a ring on her left hand. The girl on the right wears a
simple dress and a large bow in her hair, along with stockings and
boots. - They are looking at a book together.

This is a photo of my great-great grandmother (in the back) with some
relatives. The picture looks to have been taken around the same
year (maybe a bit earlier) as the next photo. They're wearing
lace-up boots. The boy on the left is sitting on a metal chair, and there are
some flowers and another chair, I believe, in the background.
There's a nice rug under them, too.
This is another picture of my great-great grandmother, Carolyn Reno (the
woman with spectacles), and some other relatives. The little baby

beaded work on the lady's dress and the box in the background.
