About this book
Three Sisters c 1866-1875 From the Wells Smith Family Album
Year: 1870
This photograph comes from page 39 of the Wells Smith family album. The page holds only three photographs, with one slot either missing or never filled. The image shows three girls who appear closely related—very likely sisters. Based on their apparent ages (roughly nine or ten, eight, and five), their births as a group likely fall around c. 1866–1875. The verso identifies the studio as L. B. Rearick, over Dr. Brooke’s Drug Store, Sherman, Texas, and includes an offer for duplicates. This matches the same Sherman, Texas studio mark found on the John Smith copy elsewhere in the album. The significance of the Texas connection remains unknown and will be revisited as more pages are scanned and compared. Identification is a work in progress.
