Carte-de-Visite photograph of [SEATED] Unidentified and [STANDING] Maria (Kent) Thomas - wife of Lindsey Thomas, daughter of David Kent & Elizabeth Barnes.
Identification of Maria (Kent) Thomas [1846-1917] was accomplished by comparison with identified photos and analysis of genealogical research. The seated woman may be Maria's next elder sister, Elizabeth (Kent) Porter [1844-1884] of whom we do not yet have an identified photo to compare.

Card mount has a pink back and a photographer stamp in 5 lines of curlicue lettering. There is no tax stamp or other marking. The corners of the picture are beveled. The physical characteristics of the photo indicate that it was probably printed during or after 1875; the fashions expressed date to the 1870s.Collection
