Webster Family outside Their Farmhouse, Concord, Delaware County, Ohio, circa 1881
Add to SetSummary
William and Corilla Webster and their children posed for the photographer in rural Delaware County, Ohio, about 1881. Photographers sometimes traveled with their equipment from farm to farm, offering their services to those wishing a portrait made in front the family home. It would be many years before cameras became convenient--and affordable--enough for most people to take their own photographs.
