4"h x 2 1/2"w carte-de-visite of Archbishop Francis Patrick Kenrick, Bishop of Baltimore from 1851-1863. This may be a photograph of a portrait--somehow it does not look lifelike. The man looks like a leprechaun in a costume. He had on a simple dark cape over a white surplice and dark cassock with some sort of tasseled sash. He wore a rather simple dark cross on a chain around his neck. The chair in which he was seated appeared to be upholstered in velvet.

Text on the verso: In a shield in the center : "Photographed by Israel & Co. exclusively for James Fryer, 206 West Baltimore St. Baltimore." and on the bottom edge in black type "Entered, according to Act of Congress, A. D. 1863 by James Fryer, ... the Clerk's Office of the District Court of Maryland." at the top of the card, Mr. Fenwick had written "Bishop Spalding" in blue ball point ink, but this identification is not correctCollection
