This photo was simply titled “Anna.” The photographer was John L. McDermond, and it was taken in the backyard of his home on Glennwood Avenue in Philadelphia. I haven’t determined when this photo was taken or just who Anna is. But when I put the shot into AI animation, she comes out being quite a charmer.
John took two other photos of Anna. The one below is dated April 25, 1909. The one where she is seated is undated. Does she look younger or older in that one?
