EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century family portrait depicts an unidentified man and his two daughters. The photograph, taken in Chita, Siberia, Russia, on November 28, 1885, is inscribed on the reverse with the message "By heart to mister Kennan. M. Ivesherov." The man wears a formal suit with a crisp collar and a bow tie, while his daughters don elegant dresses with high collars and long sleeves. The girls' hair is styled in braids, a popular fashion for young girls during this era. The family's clothing and the setting suggest a middle-class background. The photograph is a cabinet card, a popular format for studio portraits during this time. The image captures the tender moments of fatherhood and sisterhood, as the man looks lovingly at his daughters. The portrait is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the late 19th century and the meeting of frontiers between Europe and Asia. The Library of Congress acquired this photograph and it is now part of its vast collection of historical images.
