James & Sarah Sewell Family

Title

James & Sarah Sewell Family

Description

Sepia-toned studio image of a family. The adults are seated, and the man wears a full beard and has his hair combed to the side and back. The woman wears a high-necked, long-sleeved dress with an elaborate lace tie. Her skirt is narrow, but pleated and having an over skirt. She holds a baby in a white dress on her lap. A young boy in a suit almost identical to the man's stands between them; his hair is cut short and combed forward. A young girl stands to the image right of the man; she has a long-sleeved dress with a wide lace collar and ribbons tied around the upper arms. Her bangs are curly, and her hair is pulled back from her face.
