I don't have much information about this photo - not more than that it was taken by Fichtel, located on 126 Bergen Line Avenue, Union Hill, New Jersey.
But I can make a few well-educated guesses. I think it is very likely that the two women are family, and judging by their ages, possibly mother and daughter. The photo is probably taken in the early 20th century. And they might very well be immigrants from Sweden - or at least related to some such immigrant - because I bought the photo in Sweden, and sending portraits to the old motherland was a quite common occurrence.
By the way - Bergen Line Avenue, or Bergenline Avenue as it is written today, even has its own article on Wikipedia. And Union Hill is now a part of Union City.
