S. J. Dixon Photography, 249 Yonge Street, Toronto

Again, this is a photography my cousin bought. S. J. Dixon Photography at 249 Yonge Street in Toronto and was founded in 1872 by S. J. Dixon. the year 1893, Dixon's wife Sarah took over for unspecified reasons (perhaps Dixon died?). By clicking that hyperlink above, you can see a newspaper advertisement put out by this photograph company stating what they do in their shop. Along the side, you can see their insignia as well as multiple other ads.


Just an extra bit of information for you: here are their listings in the Toronto directory...


There is no note of who the two people in this photograph are, although I believe the picture was taken in the very late 1800s or very early 1900s due to their attire.

Another Picture I Have :)

I don't know her name, but I know that it was taken in Belleville, Ontario by Clark J. Smith. Judging by the dates of other pictures Smith has taken, this picture is probably from the mid-1800s.

Awwwwwh, it's a reading baby!!

Look at how cute this baby is! They've got a book! And, like my previous post, I know absolutely nothing else about this except the fact that it's so incredible precious.

Family Portait

I'm not sure who these people are or their relationship to each other, nor do I know who took the photograph; the occasion; the location; or the year it was taken. Judging by the clothing though, I'm assuming it's the very late 1800s (after 1890) or very early 1900s (prior to 1910).

Unknown, unknown, unknown!

It makes me so sad that I know absolutely nothing about this picture. Oh well, I thought you'd all like to see it regardless, because it's a baby and babies are so cute. Enjoy!

I'm pretty sure this is the most adorable little girl EVER! :)

I don't know who she is, where she lived, what year this was taken...nothing. I do, however, think she's the most adorable little girl ever! I tried to find the decade it might have been taken in and did so by researching different dolls of the 20th century. From what I found (combined with the style of her outfit and her hair), I think it was taken in the 1940s when dolls looked kind of creepy like thisand thisand all of these. What do you think of this picture?
