Two cabinet photographs of domestic scenes with farm animals



Snapshot of a woman and man holding hands, the woman raises a whip to a horse, the photographer's finger blocks the lens - cabinet card photograph, 3.25 x 3.5 inches, mounted to 5 x 5 card. Upper right corner of the card is chipped, pinhole at the center; photograph still in Very Good condition with minor surface soil. The image itself is a bit soft and dark, generally obscure visually and contextually. They're in nice clothes, holding hands, the woman seems a little far away to be raising a whip, and the blotted out corner isn't helping to clarify anything.

Occupational portrait of a woman feeding chickens on a farm - Early 20th century cabinet card photograph, 3.25 x 3.5 inches, mounted to 5 x 5 embossed card. Small chip to the lower left corner, some overall soil and abrasion. Stamped on the reverse "S. M. Photographer New midway MARYLAND." Renner's relative fame came not from his photographs, but from his proto-"personal ads" as reported in the Frederick News-Post in 1913: "There has been a slump in the wife-hunting campaign of S.M. Renner, the New Midway photographer, who utilized the want columns of The Frederick Post, with the hope of securing a wife to cheer his lonely existence. Renner has received 10 letters from applicants, but they are not what the fastidious young man expected."
