Wallace Nutting Library


Title Unknown - Studio # 211

This picture may be a one-of-a-kind picture, or at the least very few were made.

This photograph shows the Rundle sisters ascending the front entryway of the Edward Mead Homestead, Boston Post Road, Greenwich, Connecticut.

This picture is very similar to Callers at the Squire's, studio # 124 except that in this scene Katharine is higher up the stairs then Adaline Rundle.

We know the studio # because it was the practice of the Nutting Studio to write the studio number on the back of larger photographs so that they could be identified as they made their way through the coloring process.

Wallace Nutting wrote: "[this entryway] represents one of the most beautiful doors known, though there was originally no porch, and the present porch is purposely omitted. The dentil and other decorations of this doorway are the last word of our fathers. Whoever did this door left something which has delighted generations and is now likely to be copied into many homes. The ivy just adorns, without obscuring the portal."

The Rundle sisters also modeled in the following Wallace Nutting photographs:

The Sallying of Sally #118 A Tap At The Squire's Door #119
An Old Time Gallant #208 Caller's at the Squire's #124
Hesitancy #231
