Mom's family

Every time I search through family photos I rediscover an old favorite. This is a photographic portrait of my mother's family in the late 1800's.
There's so much to love about this picture. The typical Victorian parlor. The men's mustaches and women's hairstyles. The unmarried ladies dressed in white.
The middle woman-in-white is my grandmother, Mimi. I inherited the amethyst brooch that she's wearing.
