Antique Photograph by G Franck E. Pearsall of a Baby Girl and Her Doll. Famed photographer George Frank E. Pearsall opened G. Frank E. Pearsall’s Photo Gallery in 1872 at 298 Fulton Street, Brooklyn N.Y. Considered one of our successful young photographers of the time, he patented a process for developing standard sizing in photographs, invented the Pearsall compact camera, a carrying case for cameras, a new Ruby plate holder, and more.
This photograph of a little girl is so sweet, Mr. Pearsall was famous for capturing children in a natural way. She wears a long gown and lace underskirt, and is wearing her button shoes. What makes this photo most endearing is that she is holding her beautiful doll in her lap. A delight for you photography collection, or to display with your collection of dolls. Wear, aging, bent corners and a little glue from the album on the very bottom as shown.
