    Are they the same Children as the Christmas photograph?

    DannyM8 Even though the young girls hair looks darker in this they appear to be the same children as in the Christmas shot. Looking at the leaves on the lawn it would appear to have been taken in Autumn - probably late August early September? I suspect that the creeper on the house behind the group was full of colour at that time as well, probably a bright orange or red!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    If they are the same children, one of the dates is wildly wrong: this is 1873, the Christmas shot is 1894.

    DannyM8 Swordscookie I think it's just a family resemblance between children a generation apart.

    Clara Butt (1872-1936) was an English contralto; both the boys here died before Clara did, the elder son Roy from meningitis at school, the younger, Victor, by suicide. Butt would use a wheelchair in her later years, when spinal cancer was taking hold. The daughter here was named Joy.

    This is video of this same moment!

    The boy on the left inherited mom's teeth.
    Sounds like a sad family.

    She sang at the Met in the season-ending concert on April 26, 1914, according to NYT of April 27, 1914

    Perhaps the picture was taken when she was leaving for England.

    I assumed it was arrival because of the bouquets! But I looked again at the video, and it says they're getting ON the ship, as you suggest, swanq. Thanks!

    pennsylrichardsca: Thank you for identifying English opera singer Clara Butt and including the additional photo of her and the film from Pathe. However, I am not sure if the film was taken at the same time as the photo. Their clothes look similar, but the locations may be different and perhaps these are their traveling outfits. Could the Bain photo been taken in NYC and the Pathe film in England? The Pathe film archive is fascinating, and may be helpful for identifying other Bain images. Thanks for including it in your post.
