Wassberg, Karl (1873 - 1939) Prominent Swedish Photographer, ran a photo studio in Borås and Herrljunga. The company was established before 1910. This photograph was found in a Minnesota estate.
The men look to have early navel caps, “flat hat” typical of late to early 19th century. The building behind shows a large tin roof. Very young boys in the first row and young woman all in white in the center. You can see that some of the (staff) are in stripes and work clothes. This may very well be a Swedish boarding school.
The photo has it's original tissue covering. Very good condition. Probably dating to 1890 - 1910. Nothing written on the back. Great collectible cabinet photograph.
