Tonnesen Images Make Mystery Appearances

Picture 1 of 5

This unsigned print appears on a 1923 calendar in my collection. The girl on the right is Virginia Waller Wicks (1913-2006). The original photo from which this print was made belongs to the Tonnesen collection of the Winneconne Historical Society, Winneconne Wisconsin. Examination of a high resolution scan made by Sumner Nelson reveals nothing to indicate that Tonnesen did anything other than photograph the two girls together. There are no seams or evidence of splicing two images together. And yet...take a look at the next image...


Sometimes, images originally photographed by Beatrice Tonnesen seem to have reappeared in other scenes. See Slideshow Album 12. The captions tell the stories. Rollover with the mouse to see the captions.
