3 original memorial images, of young woman and her funeral flowers, all by the same photographer. 6.5" x 4.25" cabinet cards, early-mid 1890s… These were purchased with identified members of the Sanborn family who lived around New Lothrop and Flushing, Michigan. This girl is not identified outside of the IRENE on her funeral pillow, but it's a very good bet that her name was either Irene Sanborn, or she was closely related to the family in some way. The images are all sepia in color, perhaps a shade light, but otherwise in very good antique condition. The backs are blank and clean.
