Victorian Friends

Unfortunately these two gentlemen who had their picture taken in 1870s Carmarthen, Wales are not identified. I wonder what their relationship and story is. And wish James Fitzjames and John Barrow could've gotten their picture taken like this.

Carte de visite from my collection:

three cards from the visitors, pen & white gel pen on photocopy

one of my favorite mixed media pastimes, as a collector of cartes de visite - no actual CDVs were harmed here, drawing on a copy is easier anyway & i love the textures it adds. you can get the whole mini-zine (six images altogether) here for free or donation.

More reversing Victorian-era photo retouching for size.... Original photo at left; I’m not sure about this one, but the curve under her bust is just a tad too unnatural-looking, both in overall shape (and bodice details/placement) and in the cleanness of the edges in the photo. Right is my guess as to what her actual shape was according to the underbust shadow and the placement of the center of the bodice. 

(Unidentified woman, photograph by Oswald Welti (1843-1932), Montreux/Lausanne, Switzerland, 1880s. Collection of Kenna Libes, #23.25. Do not repost without credit.)
