Description

Carte-de-visite. Original professional photograph from Brady's National Photographic Galleries, No. 352 Pennsylvania Av., Washington D.C. & Broadway & Tenth Street, New York. Mitchener Album 01, Photo 43. Based on the identified photographs and an inscription that reads, "Album presented to Lee I. Mitchener by F. M. Mitchener," we believe the Mitchener Album originally belonged to Ida Leonis "Lee" Mitchener [1857-1924], daughter of William B. Mitchener and Mary Way. The album passed to Lee's sister Harriet Eldora "Dora" (Mitchener) Baily, whose descendants have preserved it in original order.
