This cabinet card portrays a young woman from the Boston, Massachusetts area. The photograph was likely taken in the 1880s or later. The imprint on the front reads: Purdy, 146 Tremont St., Boston. The imprint on the back reads: J.E. Purdy & Co., 146 Tremont St., Boston, Successors to Hastings.

(Kate?) Reynolds |
Reynolds? |
These two CDVs hail from Boston, Massachusetts. They look like they were taken at the same time, and since Reynolds (albeit with questions marks) is found on both, it is quite possible they are sister and brother. Given the style of the CDV, they were likely taken between 1880 and 1905. Without more specifics, it’s hard to say who exactly they are and there are too many Reynolds families in the Boston area.
The imprint reads: Holland, 611 Washington St., Boston.
This CDV hails from Northampton, Massachusetts. On the back, I believe it reads Ethel Frances Fernald and the year 1902. A quick search on Ancestry revealed a few possibilities that will take some time to dig into to see if I can uncover some living relatives that may be interested in this photograph.
