Description

Cabinet card of John Henry McFarland [1864-1923] - son of Josephus McFarland and Mary Ann Linton. Identification is based on comparison to item # MILB-AN002-0001, which is a tintype of the McFarland family. Tintypes are typically reversed, like looking into a mirror. In the tintype, John's left eye (which is therefore his right eye in real life) appears misaligned. Note that in this cabinet card and in another cabinet card from the same photo shoot (see item # MILB-AN001-0004-0005), John's right eye seems to have been edited by hand to appear centered. Original, no photographer listed. Vance-McFarland Album 04, Photo 05.
