Description |
Framed Wedding Photo of John and Mary Schumacher, 1898. Photograph, fake flowers, and veil in a large frame. Photo is black and white, showing the Schumacher couple standing and facing the camera. John, left, has short dark hair, a mustache, and wears a black suit with white shirt and tie. Mary, right, is dark-haired and wears a fake flower tiara and black dress with pearl details at the collar and waist. What is presumably the same fake flower tiara is held above the photo, slightly overlapping it; flowers are small and white, faded green, and faded wine-red. Above and around the photo and tiara, tied like window curtains, is a white veil made out of simple netted fabric. Frame is deep and wooden. Front of frame rises up and out in a stair-step pattern, with the edges of the steps cut in a zigzag pattern; it is painted white except for the highest step, which is painted gold. On the sides of the frame are small metal hooks for hanging. |
