Description: This photograph was taken by local photographers Carter & Isaac in the early 20th century. The photo shows a woman and a small girl standing in front of a wood frame house. They both appear to be wearing light summer clothing. The house is covered in shiplap boards and is fairly simple in its design. Trees obscure part of the house exterior. A wood rail fence can be seen to the right of the house.

The Carter & Isaac company specialized in outdoor photography, focusing on houses and farmsteads in rural Ontario. William Webster Carter was the photographer and traveled by horse and buggy through the countryside with his camera and other equipment. His wife, Bertha Isaac, processed the glass negatives and made prints for sale. Carter & Isaac took photographs in the St. Marys area between 1902 and 1906 and briefly again in 1908.

This image is a contact print made from the original glass plate negative. The contact identifier number can be seen in the bottom corner of the photograph where Carter & Isaac have scratched it into the emulsion. The number is 1090. This photo is part of a collection of photos which appear to have been taken in the northern part of Oxford County.
