What a cool photo! My great-grandfather Francis Henry Duval took the photo and described it as “Looking up a rock pile.”
My great-grandmother was a professional photographer. Before that, my great-grandfather studied photography and practiced. Then he shared his knowledge with great-grandma and his sister. He preferred the darkroom. This lovely image of my Grandma and her brother was one of his practice shots.
His notations on the back:
Happy Thursday! Have you scanned a favorite photo recently? I hope you will preserve one precious photo today. xoxo
Great photo! Why is Duane in quotation marks in your caption?
Thank you, Amy! Duane is his middle name and no one calls him that now. ❤️
Fun photo, and I notice that the kids are in focus, mark of a true professional!
Thank you, Marian! Yes!! He did a great job with this.
