Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:24532688 |
ANTIQUE CABINET CARD PHOTOGRAPH OF AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN. She seems self-assured, as she sits in a fine wicker chair, with a bucolic painted background. She looks right at us.
There is period ink on the back: "(Mag) Shropshire Children’s nurse." Although we only get her first name, it’s more identification than we find on most of these photos.
There’s no photographer’s mark, so we can’t isolate the region of the country that the Shropshire family was from.&nbs...p;
DATE. Circa late 1890s.
SIZE. Approximately 6 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches.
CONDITION. Photo: A few spots and specks. Other light soiling. When tilted, scuff marks are apparent.

Back has wear around edges and at corners, and has some soiling.
APPEARANCE. Good to very good tones. Very good details. Nice lighting on her face. A lovely portrait.
