Description

Carte-de-Visite photograph. The woman pictured bears a strong resemblance to Sophia (Tennemire) Dreier [1849-1920] - wife of Henry Dreier, daughter of William Teinemire. However, Sophia was only a young woman around the time this photograph was taken. Could this be her mother? A handwritten inscription on the back of CDV is likely a photographer mark, but it is hard to read and may be a German name. This photograph may have been taken in Germany.
