Photo measures 4.25 x 6.5 inches and came from the Chalmers photography studio in Bangor, Maine. Card is in very good to excellent condition for its age, but as to be expected with a photo over 120 years old, it isn't perfect. There are a few age spots. Please see photo scans for inspection. The "Ancestry Ephemera" watermark you see will not appear in the original photograph you will receive.
