Baker's Art Gallery first founded by Lorenzo Baker (1834-1924) during the Civil War produced innumerable family portraits, commercial images, photographs of famous people, and during the 1890's a series of reverse glass albumen mammoth images. In this image the globe being studied by the young pair appears to be an 18 inch Rand McNally terrestrial globe, with the young boy seated atop the desk, and a Renaissance revival chair behind the flowing gown of the young girl. The others marketed from about 1896-1900 included a mother and two daughters, "The Recital," and another image of young girl with mother painting and holding an artist's palette, all seemingly with same models. Celebrities who sat for the Bakers, included Annie Oakley, Presidents Rutherford B. Hayes, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Warren G. Harding. Four generations of the Baker family operated the studio in Columbus until 1955, when the studio closed, and family donated negatives and photographs to the Ohio History Center.
