First Communion, 1906

Photo rescued from antique store in Oregon, summer 2014. This is a cropped and edited version. The mat has some corners torn and there is a lot of yellowing and some spots. Also some spots on the photo - removed here in this digital version. The photographer is E. J. Sprauer of Louisville, Kentucky. He was at the address listed on the photo's mat only for 1906 as far as I can tell from researching online. Photographers use to move around and switch studios frequently, so an old portrait can be dated by researching when the photographer was at that address (if one is available).
