    I'd like to know when these portraits may have been done and what process was used -- a re-creation of photographs? The stamp shown was on the reverse of the frames - the frames are beautiful also. Any info appreciated!!

      Great old photos. Love the frames.

      These are copy images that were enlarged. The process was very popular in the late 19th- early 20th century.

      Usually some of the details were lost in the enlargement process, so details were drawn in and many times these were colored.

      Based on the clothing, I would put the original images in the 1890s. The frames are more typical of the early 20th century.

      Thanks to all! Now that I re-think it, I probably should've gone with user name of "Rookie" LOL, I have so far too go and so much to learn. Loving and researching the "Old Stuff" is my new passion.
