Name(s): Bertha Davis
Date: July 1873
Location: Brighton, England
This is a studio portrait of an 11-year old girl named Bertha Davis. Bertha was photographed by C. Hawkins at 32 & 38 Preston Street in Brighton, England. This was the Brighton School of Photography. At the time of her sitting, in July 1873, Bertha was eleven years old. This puts her date of birth at about 1862.
Brighton is located in Sussex, on the southern coast of England. It was a popular vacation destination for English families, and thus, Bertha Davis may have been from elsewhere in England and had her photo taken while on holiday.
C. Hawkins appears to have been a popular studio photographer in the 1870s, taking many portraits like those seen here.
