note from Joan –The story is that the picture was taken in two shots, so the siblings could wear the same dress.
another note from Jeffrey Perls — One anecdote is that the photographer thought the family did not look rich enough so he painted rings on their fingers to add the appearance of wealth.
On the back of original picture owned by Ruth Pollak Lasser of White Plains is written; Taken in NY abt. 1866. Missing is Sophie Popper who was married and living abroad until 1880.
(I’m not sure who wrote all this-my ggrandmother?.)
The order of people in the picture is from left to right: Katie Schalle; Theresa Proops; Barney; Julia Levy; Karl, Jacob and Eva; Josephine Lederer; Caroline Weiss [really Anna Weiss]; Bertha Leffler; Anna Weiskopf [that is Caroline Weiskopf]
(that is how it is written.)
Now we know that Karl and Eva and family emigrated to NYC! Perhaps we can find more records.
Was “Chitenhaven” in NY?

Karl Hartman was born 1817 in Bieschin, Bohemia in German original (Besiny, Klatovy in Czech). His occupation was house-to-house salesman. 1880 census worked at liquor store; Death Certificate “Merchant” [We know he is who died in Manhatten in 1893. – we haven’t determined what “Chitenhaven” in 1868 is all about.] Age on March 17, 1893 at time of death was 76 years, 3 weeks. This places his date of birth approximately Feb 25, 1817.
