Tintypes and ferrotypes that may include stock photography as well as family and theater images. Images of note include a Highland Park firefighter, an African-American, portraits and staged images.
A number of these photographs indicate Orson B Brand as photographer and appear to have been taken chiefly in the same studio with the same props. There are numerous images that appear to be self portraits by Brand.
This collection contains images and advertisements from the Brand Brothers Studio. Images range from the Brand family at various events to other local families and even individual people. All advertisements for this collection are for the Brand Brothers Studio and range from calling cards to calendars.
