Della Lemon fonds

  • CMC PHO-C32
  • Fonds
  • [ca.1885]-1915

These photographs are all good quality studio portraits, ca.1885-1915, and feature individuals, couples or groups. One is a wedding portrait, ca.1900-1905. Another is an unusual portrait if a young boy with what appears to be a studio prop pony. None of the subjects are identified. At least two appear in more than one photograph. Six of the photographs feature photographer's imprints. Five of these indicate that those photographs were taken in Mankato, Minnesota which suggests a family connection with that place. The sixth imprint is Gauvin, Gentzel & Co, of Winnipeg.
