A Trio of Antique Portraits Including a Pair of Barton Cincinnati Carved Oak Frames - This collection consists of three early 20th-century studio portraits.

Accompanying this are two matching smaller sepia-toned portraits, likely late albumen or silver gelatin prints, depicting a woman in a full-length Edwardian dress. These two smaller photographs are housed in distinctive shield-shaped carved oak frames featuring beaded oval apertures and gold-painted highlights. Both of the smaller frames retain their original circular black and gold retailer labels on the reverse, which read: 128 W 4TH ST. BARTON CINCINNATI.
