Summary
Studio photograph, head and shoulders, of a girl, probably one of the Dickinson family, with her hair wound around her head in a large plait. She is wearing a necklace of large beads, a rectangular brooch at the neck and what looks like a hair slide underneath. Contained in a tan coloured leather photograph album, elaborately tooled in black with brass clasp and containing twenty five gilt edged pages with eighty photographs, some of the Dickinson family. c. 1870
Provenance
A gift from the Hon. Gerald Agar Robartes, 7th Viscount Clifden, 1883-1966, who gave Lanhydrock to the National Trust in 1953 and continued to live there with his sisters, Everilda and Violet, until his death in 1966. The album is thought to have belonged to Mary Dickinson, later Viscountess Clifden, containing family photographs.
