    Um, the word is “provenance,” not providence. Not trying to be Grammar Queen, just letting you know. :)

    They could be contemporary with my own great-grandparents. This photo can be closely dated to 1872:

    Pressed paper (paper-mache) frames were popular back then. This example dates c1860-70:
