NotesObject Note: This is miniature is one of eight that George Dudley Seymour commisioned Mildred Jordan to paint, most based on various portraits in his possession. This is of Seymour himself as a boy, and he notes that, "Miss Jordan put me in a white suit in place of the suit I wore at the time when the photograph was taken."(Lee 10/24/2014)Subject Terms
