I decided that this week’s 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks theme, Love, could be expressed in a picture rather than in so many words. I posted this picture before in a thread a couple weeks ago, but it’s always struck me as unusual for a picture for its time.
This picture of Frederic Julien Kellogg with daughter Freda Louise Kellogg and Edith Emeline Hunt was taken about 1900. Most photos, even this late, were stiff affairs without much of any personal expression — they were simply portraits and records of the people. This one is a little different, and I will allow it to speak for itself.
