Apparently this is a Wisconsin family whose portrait was taken circa 1869 by a Norwegian immigrant named Andreas Larsen Dahl.
Isn't it magnificent?

A Blessed Sunday to You!
Now that's an interesting family. Must have been well off for the time. I can't figure out the stuffed owl?!
ReplyDeleteI know! An owl of all things!
DeleteYes, I love it! And the house details, too. What a great old photo. There HAS to be a story behind the owl that we will never know. =)
ReplyDeleteI agree! :)
