 The original is a 3 7/8" x 5 1/2" print mounted on 4 1/4" x 6 1/2" matboard. The mat has a textured surface, but has no studio mark.
On the back of the matboard is written in pencil, "M Sepia - both on one card - Frame # 11, John Ahl, Hewitt, Wis."
This sounds like what a photographer would have written as a note on how to make the photo. M Sepia may refer to a color of brown toner to color the print.
"Both on one card" and the way the faces appear in an oval indicate that the two images were printed together, yet came from two separate negatives.
The name and the place could be the owner of the photo or the person in the photo or both. If this is John Ahl and his wife Annie, it could be their wedding photo. John and Annie were the parents of Theresa Ahl Krantz.
At this point I am not certain of their identity.
