- Charles and William Haushalter c. 1884
- Description
- This formal portrait captures brothers Charles (left) and William (right) Haushalter around 1884–1886. Likely standing in a studio in the Hamburg or Buffalo area, the boys are dressed in the peak formal attire of the era: matching heavy wool tunics, metallic buttons, and stiff, scratchy white lace collars. Because albumen prints of the 1880s still demanded long, unblinking exposure times, both brothers wear the characteristically intense, deadpan expressions of children commanded to freeze under a photographer’s strict glare.
