Genevieve
Image of a woman named Genevieve using a camera. Visible in image: Genevieve stands on the bank of a body of water amid trees. She wears a hat trimmed with ribbons, a dark jacket, and a dark skirt with pinstripes and scallops. She is removing (or inserting, or checking) the plate holder in a large box camera, make and model unknown. There appear to be benches visible in the background, indicating that this photographs was taken in a park. Caption on negative sleeve/reverse of print: "24 - Genevieve - May 91" on sleeve in pencil (in photographer's hand), "Woman Boting [sic]" on sleeve in ink, writer unknown. This woman could be the same as the woman on the far right in photograph LB2009.13.322, as her clothing appears to be identical. Further information about the location of this photograph is only speculative. Cataloger's Note, March 2014: Nathan Lipfert, Senior Curator of the Maine Maritime Museum, Bath, suggests that this may be a photograph of Abbie Minott of Phippsburg, Maine. The original sleeve specifying a photograph of Genevieve taken in New Dorp in 1891 is presently identified as belonging to this negative.
