Additional Details

Several men and women are photographed singly or in groups, all apparently in performing costume. The ambrotypes are of two women, singly and as a pair. They have been rebacked and one has had its outer frame removed (Holmes, Booth & Hayden copyright). Two of the cartes-de-visites are of a young woman named as Naascaleta or Miss Neoskiletta, one of them being highlighted in purple. Two other portraits were produced by photographer George P. Hopkins of Albion, NY. Finally, a group portrait of 6 performers (including some of the above) was produced by J.L. Jones of Quebec City. If you can identify this group of performers, we applaud your knowledge--we suspect there's an interesting story here.
