Scope and Content:
Includes a framed tintype photograph of a young girl in a dress carrying a basket of flowers. The image depicts Mary Joanna Sophia Carr, the eldest child of the Rev. Thomas William Carr (of Barming). The second image is a silhouette portrait, perhaps lithographed, of a middle-aged man. The subject is probably the family patriarch, the eldest Thomas William Carr. The third and final framed image is a small portrait, drawn in graphite, of Margaret Lewen Morton. A note on the reverse reads: "Copied by Miss Ethel Baruster (?) from one belonging to Mr Russell of Hatchford. A fair copy, but the lower part of the nose is larger than the original."
