Studio portraits

Series consists of 517 photographs produced primarily by Hannah Maynard of Mrs. R. Maynard’s Photographic Gallery between 1874-1916. Other photographers are also identified on some negatives. Images depict individual, family, and group portraits, including babies, youth, young adults, and adults. Some backgrounds were kept simple while others include a range of often re-occurring scenic backgrounds and props. Several of the negatives were manipulated, with retouching visible on sitters' faces and hair. In rare instances, retouching was used to outline props or other studio accessories.
