ATLANTA PHOTOGRAPHER - LENNEY STUDIO 83 1/2 WHITEHALL ST., ATLANTA 1895 ATLANTA EXPOSITION SOUVENIR.

The photo entitled: "Connor Pittard was 18 years old when he sat for this photo souvenir from the Atlanta Cotton Exposition in 1895. Portrait by Lenney Studio, 83 1/2 Whitehall St., Atlanta, GA." The Lenney in Portrait by Lenney Studio was my grandfather -- William Easter Lenney. I am happy to learn of his address. He moved from Newport, PA to Atlanta and became a quite well-known portrait photographer in Atlanta from 1894 to 1920 when his family moved from Atlanta to California.
