Cabinet Photo Helen Ross Murray w/ Tabby Cat "Tribby" Adams County OH 1890's

Description

One of the best Cabinet photographs I have owned in my years of collecting. This image shows a Baby Doll party at the Gibson family estate in Adams County, Ohio in the late 19th century. Each little girl holds proudly holds their baby doll in which several are rare German and French bisque dolls including China head Civil War period dolls. No doubt some descended from their mother’s and grandmother’s days. A few of the girls hold several of their favorite dolls and no doubt tea and playtime followed closely thereafter. This is an image that symbolized a time of innocence in our children that has been virtually destroyed today. (A masterpiece by definition) 5 x 7 inches This photo is part of an important archive associated with the Collings/Kirker family of Adams Co., Ohio that I have listed in my shop. The Archive over-all consists of materials from the Kirker-Collings-Gibson family of Adams Co., Ohio, from just before statehood to the end of the 20th century. Two of the progenitors of this clan are James R. Gibson and his wife, Martha King Gibson. This archive and this album appear to have been accumulated and come through Mary King Collings, who, it appears never married. Please examine the many photos provided. If you are an Ohio collector and historian you certainly will be well pleased and served to add this incredible album to your collection. And please take the opportunity to examine the other items from this family presently listed in my shop.
