Scope and Contents of the Collection
This small album contains ten photographs by Frances and Mary Allen depicting their beloved Deerfield, Mass., in the years shortly after the turn of the twentieth century. The majority of the images are artfully composed views of Deerfield Street and the colonial houses familiar to the Allens. Among these are two photos of the house the sisters inherited from their Aunt Kate Allen in 1895, which subsequently became their home and studio. The silver developing out prints, approximately 6x8" (15.5 x 20.5 cm.), are mounted on stiff gray cardboard mounts and bound inelegantly onto stubs with fabric tape. |
