A charming and very historic family portrait. Love the formal clothes and pose, even when they're outdoors enjoying a picnic (or perhaps just a lovely summery day). Wonder who the photographer was? Another relative? Or a pro? Thanks for sharing!

Pleased you liked it :)

A pro, I rather suspect--the portrait is posed...the page from which I got the photo didn't mention who the photographer was
