		<description><![CDATA[If you go to an internet search engine, and type in &#8220;M C G Kimball&#8221; &#8212; you will get results similar to those I have just checked, over 1600 results, almost all of them to the photographer in Concord New Hampshire. But wait a minute &#8230; there never was a photographer named M C G [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My excuse for ignoring this blog and the associated site for the past few months has been that I was working on a new website. Well it is still not done, but it is far enough along that it can support a few beta-testers while I work out final kinks. The site is for Antiques [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This photograph, one panel of a stereo pair, taken in the 1880s. It is marked on front #558, Pen-Mar and Blue Ridge Scenery, Western Maryland Railroad. The back of the card has a long list of titles, but the numbers go from 401 to 517. Several of the titles are for the Pen-Mar area, where [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a clipping from an 1858 Lowell MA newspaper, showing an advertisement for ambrotypes. It reads:
Patent Ambrotypes
If you wish a clear and life like picture of yourself or friend, visit Bean&#8217;s, 234 Merrimack street, where beautiful pictures are taken for 25 cents. Mr. BEAN is the only one in Lowell that makes the Patent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a tintype portrait of two sailors in uniform. I think that style of uniform, with flap-front trousers and mortar-board type hats, was English, but those features may have been used in other countries as well. And being sailors, they could be in port almost anywhere in the world when the picture was taken. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a nice, classically composed group portrait of thee children. The eldest, the only girl, wears separate blouse and skirt, with billowing sleeves gathered at the cuff, a wide belt with large buckle, and patterned dress, very typical for both young ladies and adult women in the mid to late 1860s. The older boy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This image shows downtown Bournemouth, a popular resort town in Dorset, England. From the automobile styles and ladies fashions, this appears to have been taken in the early 1920s. The view down Christchurch Street has many signs, but most are too far away to be legible. One shows F W Todman, but I can not [...]]]></description>

They look like fraternal twins, which accounts for only one age being noted &#8212; it is the same for both of them. The photographer is Davis in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Since this is appears to be an 1890s photo, we looked for them in the [...]]]></description>
