I HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH OF A LITTLE BOY SITTING IN A CHAIR WITH A WHITE GOWN ON ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS A DEFORMED LEFT HAND AND THUMB. THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN ON JUNE 24, 1924 BY CARSON NUMBER 65031 IN A BUBBLE FRAME GLASS CATHEDRAL DESIGN WITH A NUMBER WRITTEN ON THE BACK IN BLACK CRAYON...THE NUMBER IS 26 WRITTEN OVER ANOTHER NUMBER 8-107, LIKE A FRACTION IS WRITTEN. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT WHO THIS IS. I SEE THAT THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF JACOB AND KATHEREN BRAUN SAID SHE HAD A PICTURE OF HER GRANDPARENTS FROM THE SAME DAY. ANYONE WITH INFORMATION WOULD BE APPRECIATED...THANKS

Written on the back with a crayon 2/3-2904.I just located two pictures - one of my grandparents, the other, my father when he was about 3 years old. Both frames have bubble glass and metal-like cathedral frames. No date is on the frames but they say Chicago Portrait Company- frame price $7.90. I believe the date to be in the 1920's somewhere.$7.90 was a big price in the 1920's. I have no other information.I too have an oval glassed portrait of my grandfather.

Carson that also has 1924 Chicago Portrait Co. The portrait company got into some legal trouble with the IRS and federal trade commission around that time. They were in the business of enlarging photographs into portraits and misrepresenting them to be handpainted. There was also problems with their contracts and misstating revenue or something like that. Last week on eBay a buck print by W.A. Carson with a cathedral arched frame and convex glass (common for his prints) sold for $61. His original paintings are selling for $1500 and up.My grandfather always had a picture of himself hanging in his basement & I remember looking at it forever as a child. Now that he has been dead for 16 years, it is mine. As I was about to rehang it, I noticed the markings in crayon on the back and the stamped "Price of Frame $5.90 includes back and glass & back only" It then goes on to state "One price-cannot be altered or changed, workmanship and material guaranteed Chicago Portrait Company Chicago, Ill." It too is a cathedral design Stamped "June 3d, 1934"Incorporated in 1893, by Thomas J. Ogara, Thomas J. Durkin, C.M. Stumcke.
