<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 362674, member: 5833"]My immediate impression, without knowing much about the history of the form, is that they were originally some kind of photograph. The sitters have that look people had because they had to stay still for so long. My 2 cents is that they are studio portraits, that the foliate ornamentation at the edges could be a backdrop, although could just as well have been added free hand, & that they are more likely to be father & son than the same person at 2 different ages.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
