Description

Carte-de-visite believed to be Josephus McFarland [1833-1903] - husband of Mary Ann Linton. Identification based on comparison to item # MILB-AN002-0001, which is a tintype of the McFarland family taken in 1882. This CDV may be a reproduction of an earlier 1850s or 1860s era photograph, such as an ambrotype, daguerreotype, or tintype. Families often took old images to photographers in order to have multiple reproductions or enlargements created that could be shared with family members. Original, no photographer listed.
