Miss &
Mrs.
Gillett |

| These CDVs with similar back
marks present an intriguing identification problem. The one above was
taken by Mrs. E. H. Gillett of Le Roy, New York and the pair below,
both with tax stamps, by Miss Gillett of Saline Michigan. The tax
stamp indicates the photograph was taken during the Civil War by a photographer
on the Union side between 1864-1866. Were the two women related, perhaps mother and daughter? Or did Mrs. Gillet get divorced, move to Michigan and retain her professional name? Your guess is as good as mine. |
