This is another photo from the Antique Shop in Park Rapids Minnesota.
Julius Tessman of Wadena Minnesota took this photo. He was a photographer in Wadena during 1914.
I thought that the striped blouse was rather striking. This could be a graduation photo, this gal looks young and very beautiful.
You can see the telltale beginnings of mold on this photo, someone stored it in a damp place at one time. I store all my old photos in Rubbermaid containers. They are protected from excess heat, light and dampness.
Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
She certainly is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI really get a kick out of those turtlenecks! (and I'm glad its not me wearing them!)
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I wonder if there is a way to kill the mold without damaging the photo? Your keeping the photo dry will go a long way in preserving this treasure.
I know you can microwave old documents to preserve them. Place them into the container you want to store them in, then microwave, but I forget how long, maybe 2 minutes. I don't know what effect a microwave would have on a photograph.
