Photographs, circa 1860-1900
Scope and Contents
The box contains forty-seven small photographs. There are thirty-nine albumen prints and nine tintypes. Most of the photos are cartes des visite (CDV). There are photographs of men, women, children, art objects (mainly busts and statues), ; and one small photograph of a building. Most of the images are unidentified but are presumably images of Mears family and friends. One CDV, however, identifies the subject as the Princess of Wales. Another photograph is of Norman Borden of Fall River, Massachusetts.
