The Faces of Susquehanna -Part Two

More portraits from Susquehanna, Pennsylvania. These are from the J.B. Kirby studio and its successor, the Frank Kirby studio. The portraits all measure about 2.5 inches by 4 inches. The father and daughter in the second photo must have had very light blue eyes; they look a little eery in black and white.
 


The photo above with the three ladies is the only one with any names written on the back: Mother Elizabeth and Henryette.

The photo of the boy above is also interesting, because another photographer's name and a different location (Scranton?) were printed on the back before they were crossed out  and replaced with Kirby and Susquehanna. Kirby must have  bought another photographer's card stock.
