1 photograph : albumen print on card mount ; mount 10 x 6 cm (carte de visite format) | Photograph possibly shows teacher Carrie Lining Moore who taught at the Laing School in Charleston, South Carolina from 1876 to about 1879 before marrying and moving to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.


This 1875 albumen carte de visite was made by George N. Barnard.

The photograph possibly shows Carrie Lining Moore, who according to the archive's records taught at the Laing School in Charleston, South Carolina from 1876 to about 1879. She later married and moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The identification remains uncertain, and the date of 1875 would place the photograph before her documented teaching career began. No other details about the subject or the circumstances of the portrait are known.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
