    Found this framed image at a local swap meet, photo itself measures 13" tall and 19" across. Beautiful frame and beveled glass. Wish I knew who they were.

      I have something similar, a photo of my grandmother is in the frame. Beautiful.

      I just had a similar picture handed down to me. Although the photo itself was like paint or tint. It was in a beveled/bubbled frame as well. Is there a way to determine the age of the photos?

      This particular style was popular in the US from about 1910- 1925. As a militaria collector, I see them often with a WW1 soldier photograph.
