(HAND-COLORED) bortell, p. clinton
Pair of artfully tinted photographs, the first depicting young rosy-cheeked children adorned with gilt butterfly wings, and the second a troupe of girls celebrating spring, in which their marvelously detailed green costumes (and matching shoes) and garlands are also highlighted with gold. Silver prints, 7 1/4x9 inches (18.4x22.9 cm.), each with Bortell's signature, in ink, on recto. Circa 1920
