Found in an antique store in Texas. Writing on back "Sarah + Richard Prause". This photo was badly faded and covered with black spots. I managed to remove most of the worst of the spots, but was reluctant to do too much work on their faces for fear of accidentally deleting facial features.
Sarah (Tampke) Prause was born on October 30, 1868 in Galveston, Galveston County, Texas USA to Ludolph Tampke and Caroline (Schley) Tampke, and had siblings Charles Tampke, William Tampke, Adolph Tampke, Julia (Tampke) Mueller, and Louisa (Tampke) Holzheuser.

I love antique photographs. In addition to sharing old photos of my family, I am also going through my collection of "antique store people". They've been sitting in a storage tub in my back room much too long and maybe some of their families will be able to find them here.
If I'm able to identify the people in the photo, I upload it not only to AncientFaces, but also to Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Find-A-Grave. If the person in the picture is a military veteran, the photo also goes on Fold3. I figure that the more places I upload these pictures, the greater the chance that a relative will be able to find them.
