DescriptionNinth plate tintype portrait of either Catharine Brinley Day or her mother, Catharine Brown Day. The woman pictured appears to be young, in her 20s or early 30s, although it is difficult to be specific because the plate is quite dark. She is wearing a dark dress trimmed with a lace collar with scalloped edges. Her hair is pulled back, with small curled bangs on her forehead.
