WOMEN MUSICIANS WITH VIOLIN BANJO & SONG SHEETS ANTIQUE VINTAGE PHOTO. The image has a wonderfully theatrical, parlor-performance feel, with late 19th or early 20th century clothing and a charming informal composition. Greetings! The bidding is on this atmospheric antique mounted photograph showing a small group of young women posed as musicians and performers. Two women hold string instruments — a violin/fiddle and a banjo — while others appear to hold song sheets or programs. The image has a wonderfully theatrical, parlor-performance feel, with late 19th or early 20th century clothing and a charming informal composition. The photograph is quite light/faded, but the figures and instruments remain visible. It is mounted on a 5.5 x 5.5 inch board with edge and corner wear, including losses, chipping, toning, and surface wear as shown. The back shows age toning and paper residue/wear. A scarce and appealing vernacular image of women musicians, home entertainment, amateur performance, or women with instruments.
