photo
99 x 144 mm, photographed by E.W.
Merrill, of Danvers,
Massachusetts
Unidentified mother and child, the former probably in her mid- to late
20s, and the latter aged 3-4, three-quarter length vignetted outdoor
portrait in
front of door to house. The woman is clearly the same person
as
the "Mrs M(errill)" identified in photo #05 above. Since the
photographer's name was also Merrill, it is tempting to assume that
either husband or wife was the photographer, but this is
unlikely. The brass (?) name plate on the door appears to
have
"O.N. Vernald" written in ornate script. Undated, but
possibly
taken in the early to mid-1890s
