Early 1900s Call Album - Page 7

Image
Sometime in about 1904, someone in my grandmother Evelyn Clara Call's (1895-1962) family started taking photographs and placing them in an album. My grandmother was nine in 1904, so she could have been the photographer. Or it could have been one of her parents Charles Joslin Call (1859-1939) or Elizabeth Ann (Coe) Call (1861-1956). Most of the early photographs are of family gatherings and places someone visited. I believe by about 1911, my grandmother was taking the photographs. There are photos of her classmates at Batavia High School and groups of teenage girls.  The Call family live in Stafford, Genesee County, New York. They had a cottage at Silver Lake in Wyoming County. So many of the photos were taken in these locations.  The photographs on this page were printed as cyanotypes. I'd love to know who printed them!  Possibly the Albert Coe home in LeRoy, Genesee County, New York  Back Row: Charles Joslin Call, Elizabeth Ann (Coe) Call, ?, ? Middle Row: ?, ?, Edi...
