Original antique early-1900s American sepia snapshot photograph on paper, depicting a New England wedding portrait of a bride and groom posed outdoors beside a house.
The image shows the groom standing at left in a long dark coat with a high collar and necktie, facing the camera with his hands at his sides, while the bride at right wears a full-length white gown and voluminous veil, holding a bouquet of flowers at her waist.
They are positioned on a grassy lawn in front of neatly clipped hedges and a large rounded shrub, with the clapboard siding, shuttered windows, porch steps, and architectural details of a New England home visible behind them, adding period domestic context to the scene.
The small square photograph is printed in warm sepia tones on photographic paper with a plain front border and a blank reverse side with no printed text or handwriting; the print is an unmounted, unframed original snapshot, and any brass display stand or other props visible in the listing images are used solely for scale and presentation and are not included.
A separate handwritten slip included with the lot identifies the image as New England Wedding Photo Early 1900s approx 3.5 x 3.5 in.
Actual Measurements: approx 3.5 x 3.5 in.
Condition: Original antique early-1900s sepia gelatin-silver wedding snapshot photograph on paper with typical handling and storage wear from age and use.

Corners and edges display slight softening with a small bend along the upper border and a gentle curl from previous album storage but no tears or paper loss. The plain paper back is blank with light discoloration and a faint rectangular offset from prior mounting, and the photograph is offered as one loose unmounted and unframed original print only, with any brass display stand or other props visible in the listing images used solely for scale and presentation and not included.
