Bruns or Bredhoft Relatives?
Bredhoft or Bruns relatives from Germany? This photo was found in grand aunts possessions, we assume it is a good bye or voyage photo because of the cloth and twig in hands. Does anyone recognize outfits?

Recognize the clothing? German?

This unknown photo is believed to have been taken in 1850s Central Europe. It was customary for travelers to take ‘goodbye photos' dressed in their best native clothing.

It was a tradition in Germany to take "Good-by" photos just before they actually left, and they dressed in their best native costume when traveling or emigrating, but in Germany, the native costume was somewhat different, depending on where you lived, and the time frame. They also could have been from Austria or Switzerland, or even western Poland.
