Warren, OR: Lovewell-Foto, 1910. Two silver gelatin photos sized 8 x 6 in. mounted on 12 x 10 in. gray studio board, embossed borders, and photographer’s imprint, caption, location & dating in neat white manuscript ink at lower border below the images (minor rubbing to corners, some very minor edgewear), still two VG photos with bright contrast. These two original images capture the prosperous dairy farming operation of Jacob Hammer (1858-1951) who along with his wife Barbara and eight children, ages 7 to 23 were renting a substantial farm, and just 5 years later purchased a much larger spread on Deer Island, in Columbia County, Oregon. The photographs appear to have been shot by John & Sarah Lovewell who worked as a husband & wife traveling photographers from about 1910-1915 along the Columbia & Willamette Rivers.
