Large antique family photograph lot, dating approximately from the 1890s through the 1910s, associated with the Keith family of Braintree, Massachusetts.

The grouping includes a diverse mix of studio portraits, cabinet cards, miniature photographs, snapshots, and mounted images, depicting men, women, and children across multiple generations. Subjects include formal Victorian and Edwardian portraits, children’s photographs, outdoor scenes, group images, and early candid snapshots. Several photographs show period clothing, hairstyles, and studio formats typical of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Notable elements within the lot include:

• Studio portraits on original mounts

• Miniature photo backs from commercial studios

• Handwritten identifications and dates on some versos

• Group photographs suggestive of social outings or excursions

• A strong visual record of family continuity over time

Conditions vary, as expected: some fading, edge wear, surface marks, and small losses are present. Overall, this is a rich, research-worthy family archive, ideal for collectors of antique photography, Massachusetts genealogy, or social history.

Photographs are offered as a single lot and will not be broken up.
