(For additional information on Joslin and Company and to view all portraits produced by the studio in the collection, click on its name in blue above.)


THE SITTER:

Name: Louise L. Formschlag Nissen. When this portrait was taken, the sitter would have been known by her maiden name, Louise L. Formschlag.

Description: In this head-and-shoulders portrait, Louise L. Formschlag Nissen is attired in a dark blouse with vertical pleats and a scalloped, velvet collar. Over her blouse she wears a bolero jacket with very large, prominent, velvet, lapels which extend like wings beyond her shoulders. Below the lapels are puff sleeves. At her throat is a large, quatrefoil brooch. The top of her head is adorned with short, dark curls, and the hair at the side of her face has been combed to the back of her head.

Biographical Note: Louise L. Formschlag Nissen was born in Penngrove on her parent’s property, known as the Formschlag Ranch. She attended Eagle School in Penngrove and, upon marrying in 1904, moved to Sebastopol. In 1921 she and her husband purchased her parents’ property and remodeled it into a highly successful poultry ranch. They lived there for 25 years, and, after retiring, they moved to 415 I Street in Petaluma.

Family Affiliation: Louise L. Formschlag Nisson was the daughter of early Penngrove pioneers, John N. Formschlag (1838-1927) and Elizabeth Formschlag (1847-1909). There is a portrait of her sister, Mary Formschlag Scott (1877-1946), in this archive. Louise married Nahmen Nissen (1874-1969) in 1904. Together they had two daughters, Maybelle Elizabeth Nissen Blos (1906-1991) and Alice Georgia Nissen Lentz (1912-2009). Louise and Nahmen were buried together in Petaluma’s Cypress Hill Memorial Park.

George Ross’ Portrait Photograph of Harriet, Matilda & Robert Noble

THE PHOTOGRAPHER/ PHOTOGRAPHIC STUDIO:

GEORGE COLVAINE ROSS was born February 12, 1832 in Edinburgh, Scotland and died in 1893 at the age of 60 in Petaluma, California. Unlike the other nineteenth century Petaluma photographers, Ross lived and worked in Petaluma for many years. He arrived in Petaluma in 1855, and in 1862 he began his profession as a photographer, moving his studio within the city several times as noted on his various carte de visite and cabinet card imprints. In 1869 he was also part of a short-lived photographic studio partnership with Elon D. Ormsby on Main Street in Petaluma. It was reported that Ross stopped working as a photographer soon after he developed a disability in 1888. Ross was among the most prolific Petaluma portrait photographers, and his work was of exceptionally high quality. Ross was buried in Petaluma’s Cypress Hill Memorial Park.
