Cabinet card showing a black nurse with a white
baby in her arms.
Tiny pinhole at the top edge, not affecting the image in any way.
Vienna: Hanisch, circa 1880’s
[300/400]
Apparently this Viennese family employed a black nurse for their child. She might have been
from East Africa, where Germany had a sizable colony.

6th plate ferrotype
of four sisters.
Np, circa 1860’s-1870’s
[400/600]
A touching image of four sisters. Curiously the youngest one, seated to the right seems to be
dressed in mourning, while the other three have dresses of patterned cloth. The other seated
woman is wearing a wedding ring on her left hand.
