Description:

A really fabulous early color image of two young girls in their very frilly and matching (but of different colors) dresses in front of a painted backdrop. The plate is perfectly exposed. There is date of 1931 on the cardboard passe-partout, but I doubt it is the date of the photograph, which is more likely before 1910 for a number of reasons, including the fact that in 1911 and 1928 the company name was changed. In "A. Lumiere & Ses Fils" cardboard passe-partout with R. Dechavannes, Paris, Depose (registration mark for the passe-partout itself). The pass-partout is 8 x 6-3/8 inches. The Lumiere studio often used these pass-partouts for their work, although not exclusively.
