Antique Cabinet Card Photo African American Woman W/ White Baby NAMED Virginia:
$395.00

Very rare large cabinet card photo of an African American woman holding a white baby c1889. According to the attribution on the back, the child is Margaret Shepard Webb, daughter of Dr. Charles Shepard Webb. He fought in the civil war for the Confederates with company K “Richmond County Calvary”, the 9th Virginia Calvary, and Beale’s Brigade. After the civil war, he practiced medicine in the Bowling Green area for almost 60 years. He was also the Mayor of Bowling Green for a period of time. His daughter, Margaret, was born in 1889 and died in 1952. We have not been able to identify the name of the woman holding the baby, but with as much is known about the Webb family, I’m sure with the proper research her name could be found.

Photo was taken by Davis Branch Gallery Photography of Fredericksburg & Richmond Virginia c1889. Davis was well known in the area from the 1860s thru the 1920s.
