Two L.A. Huffman Related Group Portrait Prints - Both of these prints appear to have been done by famous Montana photographer L.A. Huffman. The larger of the two group portraits appears to include Huffman himself, as well as possibly other local notables. The back lists Huffman as one of the subjects as
well as the names of the others (Huffman likely back row far left). The smaller photo is of Huffman’s two young daughters, the front matting marked “HUFFMAN. MILES MONTANA.” and back labelled “Bess Huffman/Ruth Huffman”. The larger measures 10 x 12 inches including the matting, and the smaller is 6 1/2 x 5 1/2 including the matting.
CONDITION: The larger is fine with some mild wear, some minor discoloration/staining, and a few tears in the matting, and the smaller is very fine with minimal wear.
