About This Image

One of those pieces of vernacular photography that transcends its medium. The split image that replicates five young women (are they sisters or relatives or just friends?) in different positions. In one image a young boy (a brother?) jauntily joins them. The long dresses indicate a date about 1905-06. They also look very ethnic, perhaps Italian. The grape arbor that surrounds them adds a little credence to that thought. The image just reminded me of Nicholas Nixon's wonderful images of the same set of sisters.

Most U.S. domestic Fed Ex ground shipping (Media Mail for books) is free of charge except for larger and heavier items, or unless the buyer wants express shipping (email us your requests for the latter). International shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania buyers must pay appropriate local sales tax. International clients are responsible for their local customs duties and taxes, which will be charged by Fed Ex, which will contact the client prior to delivery.
