Mother's first birthday... Primeiro aniversário de minha mãe...




Photos of the iron fence, gate and balcony of my mother's house taken when she completed her first anniversary, in 11 July 1915. My mother Antonietta was born and lived many years in Itu an historic municipality in the state of São Paulo, in Brazil.
Fotos da grade de ferro, portão e do terraço da casa de minha mãe, tirada quando ela completava seu primeiro aniversário em 11 de julho de 1915. Minha mãe Antonietta nasceu e viveu muitos anos na cidade de Itu, São Paulo, Brasil.

  6. You have the absolute best family photos I've ever seen. They're just so lush and evocative. And by the way, did your mother grow up in a palace?

  9. What a grand house that was! And to have photographs going back that far is amazing - we have so few family photos from my parents and older generations.

  12. Such sweet pictures which much be so dear to your heart!
    It is nice to look in detail to these pictures for example to the plants hanging on the side of the balcony or to your mother no too happy with all this going on disturbing her daily routine or to these two children playing on the fence that no one seems to have noticed :-)
