Elise Höusermann, Hermine, Marie & Marie Antoine ~ 1850s-60s

Albumen silver print from glass negative by Franz Antoine (Austrian, 1814–1882). Note Marie Antoine’s beautiful black lace shawl, lush bracelet, and large lace collar that matches her lace under sleeves. Not so well visible in this photo is Elise’s matching lace collar and under sleeves, but here she wears the same dress as in this previous photo. As everyone else. I think the photo might have been taken on the same day.
