Family notes:

• The “portrait” of Sylvanus and Elizabeth, last known to be in the possession of Bryan Bond of Baton Rouge, LA, has some history. The frame has a bubble glass and a metal-like cathedral border. No date is on the frame, but it says “Chicago Portrait Company- frame price $7.90.” It seems to date to the 1920’s. $7.90 was a big price in the 1920’s. Chicago Portrait Company was founded in 1893 and located 509 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago, IL. Photographers would travel around the country, taking photographs of people, and mailing the film to the Chicago Portrait Company. They were in the business of enlarging the photographs, and hiring local “artists” to paint over the picture, making it seem to be a hand-painted portrait. The company would mount the photos in large frames and return them to the customers.
