Description |
Carte-de-visite of Baron P. Stow (1847-1864). On Friday, January 29, 1864, Baron Stow wrote in his diary: "I… went down town and got my Photographs taken. I passed some time before I could get them to look natural." Later, on February 3, 1864, he comments: "I got my Photographs to day- they are very nice I think. I had them taken standing up." It is likely that this image was the one of which he writes. At the time Baron was captivated by Anna Ogle and no doubt intended to exchange photographs with her. He was 16, and died of typhoid on August 2, 1864. See Stow Family Papers, Mss./A/S891) |
