Levi Hall
Subject: Levi Hall, son of Joseph Thomas 'Tom' Hall and Ester Ann 'Annie' Pults.
Source: This photo was scanned from the original “postcard photograph”, given to me by my mother, Clara (Hall) Landwehr.
Date: I would guess that Levi was about 20 years old when this photograph was taken. On that basis, I would estimate that this photo was taken about 1907 or 1908.
Place: Unknown. Levi lived near Myrtle, Missouri.
Notes: While we don’t know where this photo was taken, it is interesting to note that the backdrop appears to be more substantial than a photographer might move from place to place. And the chair that Levi is sitting in appears to be more ornate than would be found in most homes. On that basis, I suspect that this photograph might have been taken in a photographer’s studio.
It is also interesting to compare this photograph to the photograph of Eli Hall and Levi Hall (see xxxxx). Levi appears to be about the same age in both photos, but the photos do not appear to have been taken at the same sitting. Levi is wearing a vest in one photograph, but not in the other photograph. It also appears that the hats he is wearing in the two photographs have differently-shaped crowns. On the other hand, it appears that the two photos were taken in the front of the same backdrop, suggesting that they were taken by the same photographer.
