The photo of an older Deloss is by the Norton photography studio in Canandaigua, New York and measures 2.5 x 4 inches. The photo of the two boys is the same size, but bears no studio identification. Both are in excellent condition, but as to be expected with photos over 100 years old, aren't perfect. It looks like the back top layer of the photo of the two boys was stripped away. Please see photo scans for inspection. The "Ancestry Ephemera" watermark you see will not appear in the original photograph you will receive.
