Abstract

The Jennie Wilds and Caddie Lynch autograph albums and daguerreotypes, 1856-1862, consist of two autograph albums and two daguerreotypes of Jennie and Lydia Wilds, who were sisters and lived in Kent County, Delaware. The autograph albums represent the popular nineteenth-century custom of keeping friendship albums, and the photographs provide portraits of the young schoolgirls who typically engaged in this activity.

Dates: 1856-1862
