Description

1865-1872 carte de visite photo of an elderly woman in cap and 1850s dress by John Eastman Palmer, of 58 Union Street, Stonehouse, Plymouth, Devon, England. The back of the card gives the photographer's 1865 award, but not his 1872 award, hence the above dating. This card was found in the United States in well-preserved condition in 2011, suggesting perhaps that the photograph could represent someone who emigrated to the US in the 19th century, or perhaps someone left behind in England.

Points of interest
  • If she is over 65 years, she may have been born in the 18th century
  • Her eyes look white; she may be blinded with untreated cataracts
  • Her left hand appears to be a little twisted, possibly with enlarged finger joints; she may have arthritis.
