Louis Petersen and Anna Majoros, engagement portrait, Chicago.

Year: 1900 • Collection: Petersen

Louis Petersen was the eldest son of Hans and Catharina Petersen and was born in Nebraska and followed his parents to Chicago in the early 1890s and then Brookfield, Wisconsin by 1900 . There he met Anna Majoros, who was born in Bohemia and was sometimes known as Anna Simon. This is likely a betrothal photo or taken just after their marriage. This is an improved version of a photocopy of a lost cabinet card, no imprint.
