N. Clarke Wallace Picture

  • CA CoV Archives M015.6
  • Item
  • ca. 1901

Item consists of one black and white print containing a drawn photo of N. Clarke Wallace and a list of his life accomplishments. The print appears to have been created upon the death of Wallace in 1901, as a memorial piece. The print was originally housed within a black wooden frame which was discarded based on signs of wear and damage. Upon removing the print from the frame, it was noted that a "$1.00" amount was written on the back of the frame, suggesting that the picture was sold for a dollar, perhaps at a garage sale, as believed by the family.
