Name: Martha Ayers

Description: In this portrait, Martha Wade Ayers is between 42 and 44 years old. She wears a dark, front-buttoned blouse and a matching skirt cinched tightly at her waist with a buckled, vertically striped, cloth belt. A large white, scalloped, lace collar with long, pointed ends surrounds her neck. Her dark hair is center-parted, combed to the back of her head, and secured in a netted snood.

Biographical Note: Martha Wade Ayers was a native of Tennessee.

THE PHOTOGRAPH:

Format / Size:  carte de visite, approximately 6.25 x 10.5 cm

Medium: albumen photographic print mounted on cardstock

Description, front: Handwritten in script in pencil along the bottom of the card is: “Martha Ayers”.

Description, back: Huge Anderson’s imprint appears in red ink in the center of the card. Along the top edge of the card is written: “Mrs. T. M. Blakeley”, “1551 Myrtle st”.

The handwritten script across the photographer’s imprint has not been determined. Below the imprint is additional text which includes, “1 Crayon” and “16 X 20”. Given that crayon portraits were traditionally 16” by 20”, this may be a note referring to the possibility of ordering a crayon portrait which could be created from the carte de visite. Along the right side of the card written in bold black marker is: “Martha Ayers”.

Date: January 1872 - December 1873

Condition: This carte de visite is heavily soiled and there is extensive foxing on both sides.
