Judging from the clothing and photography style and production, these photos span from the late 1860s to the early 1920s. Many pages have pencil-written names at the bottom and some have the last name Wood, as does one of the photography studios. The photos are not in chronological order and I do not know if this was collected by a family or by a photography collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhotography studio names visible on the backs of exposed photos:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO.
