Although most of the photo album these photos came from had generic portraits of a woman who was dressed in early 1900's clothing, I was very pleasantly surprised to find these rare turn of the 20th century photos of a Gypsy family and their encampment of horse drawn wagons in the back of the album. The images below represent the best of the album and I think you'll agree that artistic quality of the portraiture is outstanding on the majority of the photos. | | Read more... |
