2010.46.156Description
Glass lantern slide of Samuel F. Moody (1833-1906) playing chess. "His Favorite Game" is written on the label on the slide. The book, "The Old Photograph Series: Saco," by Jeffrey Scully (1994) has a similar photo of Samuel Moody playing chess likely taken at the same time (p. 27). However, he is erroneously identified in the book as "Joseph S. Moody playing chess at his home at 2 Cross Street, Saco." Although there was a Joseph S. Moody living on Cross Street at the time, he is not related to the Charles E. Moody family.
