Portrait of John Scott

Item is a photograph of a man in wool frock coat resting an arm on a medieval style chair, in front of a studio backdrop. On verso, barely legible, "John Scott Nov 22nd/ [illegible] 1842." A piece of paper found with the card is also dated 1842.

Portrait of Margaret Rowley

Item is a pale yellow cabinet card with a full length photograph of a woman in a plain dark coloured dress, with hoop skirt. The image probably dates to the early 1860s but is a reprint. She has a simple lace collar buttoned with a broach and wears her hair parted and tied back at the nape of the neck. On verso, handwritten in blue ink, "Aunt Margaret/ Mrs. Rowley".
