Flowers in a Box
1860-1880
A. Braun
USA: Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
Photograph on paper mounted on board
3 1/2"h x 7"w x 1/8"d
Gift of William Caleb Loring
88.38.75

Hand-colored black-and-white stereophotograph or stereocard mounted on a blue card, showing a still life of a floral arrangement in a rectangular wooden box. The leaves of the floral arrangement are shaded in green, and the flowers are tinted in shades of pink and magenta. The box itself appears whitish. There is a space between the two photographs; it is unclear if they were taken as a single photograph with a binocular camera, and then cut into two halves before being attached to the card, or if each image was photographed separately. Printed in darker blue on the front of the card is "A. Braun a Dornach. Haut-Rhin." Handwritten in black ink in the lower right hand corner is a "7" or "Z." The back of the card is blue, with a strip of white paper affixed vertically along the right edge. Printed in black on this label is "From James Cremer's / Stereoscopic Emporium, / 18 South Eighth St., Philadelphia. / Family Groups taken for the Stereoscope, and Photography in / all its Branches." Faintly handwritten in the top left corner on the back of the card is a numeral "25."
