Mes Chères Cousines

Carte de visite by C.L. Lochman of Carlisle, Pa. A group of cousins sit for their group portrait. Their expressions range from the serene young lady seated in the center to the boy at her side, who appears to be on the verge of tears. A note in period pencil on the back of the mount, written in French, is signed "Belle:"

Mes chères cousines

Je voue aime, je vous adore

Qu'est ce que vous voulez encore
