There are stickers from the framer "J. A. Yenne Furniture -:- Dealer and Undertaker FT. Morgan, Colo." The company was in business in the early years of the 20th century.
 
" It is my impression that many of the girls are native American. I think this might be one of the boarding school that were set up to assimilate the native American children in the 19th and early 20th century. There were two of the schools in Colorado. By the way the frame is priced at 45¢ and the glass was another 15¢!" (Beverly Wilgus, 14 October 2019)
