Picture 5 of 30
This print, "Mother's Darling," was done by RA Fox under his DeForest Pseudonym. Both the mother and child are generally believed to be the same people seen in the previous image. I also think this woman may be the woman who appears in Fox's "Roses Fair" (See Pat Gibson's guide, 2nd edition, page 15.) Courtesy Ron and Cora Grassmann.

I purchased photograph (print?) by “Tonnesen Sisters” Copyright 1900 of a cute little girl reading a newspaper wearing a bonnet and glasses at a auction a couple years ago. It is marked “Chicago Inter Ocean June 16, 1901,” and also has a mark “MULTI-PLATINUM PRINTS, A.L. SWIFT & CO., CHICAGO.” It was sandwiched between two plates of glass and the photograph’s face is now stuck to the glass. Is there a way to have it safety removed from the glass? Thank you.
Hi Keith,
I really don’t have any expertise in this area. You might want to contact the R.A. Fox Society, http://www.rafoxsociety.com. They are a group of print collectors and I think I recall a feature in their newsletter about such things. Good luck!
