Antique sepia-toned oval portrait photograph of a young girl, identified on the reverse as Clara Gill, born 1915, died 1922 — passing at just 7 years old. The photo is mounted in its original black-and-gilt oval frame/mat with brass easel-style backing.
She’s pictured standing in a white smocked dress with lace trim, hair in a bob with a large bow, holding what appears to be a small doll. The pencil inscription on the brass backing (“Clara Gill, Born 1915, Died 1922”) gives this piece poignant, documented provenance — a genealogical and mourning-photography item.
Condition: Photo shows expected age-related fading, foxing/spotting, and softness typical of early 20th-century prints. Frame shows tarnishing and wear to the brass backing, with a small tear near the top. Sold as-is, a wonderful piece for collectors of antique photography, mourning/memorial ephemera, or genealogical research.
