A photo of Fannie and Abraham Baum. This was taken in a photo studio, popular at the time. It is of my father's parents, Fannie and Abraham Baum. I colorized it in Photoshop--the original was in sepia tone. My dad looked a lot like his father, whom I never met, as he died at age 61 in 1931. Abraham had a big handle-bar moustache, and my father had a smaller moustache all his life!
