Print Acoustic Guitar Parlor Doll 11x14. This large original late 19th-century Victorian outdoor group portrait print captures an extended family assembled in a garden setting, centered around a gentleman proudly holding an intricate, decorative acoustic parlor guitar adorned with a ribbon at the headstock. Rich in fine period details, the image features women and children dressed in Victorian attire, a young girl holding a porcelain-headed doll, pocket watch chains, and notable folk instruments, making it a compelling piece for collectors of early American photography, folk music history, and Victorian social ephemera. Unbranded/photographer unknown, c. 1880s–1890s, large-format albumen photo print mounted on heavy cardstock board, unmarked, image measuring approximately 11 x 14 inches (mount board measures roughly 12 x 15 inches). Displays expected signs of age including subtle edge fading, minor corner wear to the backing card, light surface handling marks, and faint age-toning across the reverse board, though the main photographic image remains sharp with rich contrast, clear detail, and strong visual clarity; no major tears, heavy creases, or severe water damage observed. See photos for close-up details.
