The following pictures were found in the album of Joyce Jane Thomas Riddle presented to her by her niece, Catharine Tallulah Jane Dowdell, in December of 1867. The picture album is a thick, ornate 8� x 11� brown leather affair trimmed in gold, and coming apart at the seams, and the pictures yellowed and fragile. Most appear to be �carte de visite�, popular in the 1860s, but some are earlier photographs, tin types, and photos of paintings. A few were added after 1867.
These pictures appear to be of the Riddle and Dowdell and Thomas families, and families connected to them, friends of theirs, and a few celebraties they admired. Most are unidentified. As it is discovered, a tentative ID will be typed under each individual in the picture gallery, and if there is a photographer�s stamp on the back of the picture, the location will be cited.
