Albert & Almira Skinner family pictures
Some of our earliest pictures are of the Albert and Almira (Bailey) Skinner family. One is an 1853 daguerreotype of the whole family. Another is an 1861 frame of ambrotypes of all eight members of the family (three of which had been replaced by later pictures). If you can add to our collection your contributions would be very welcome.

The family in the 1860’s, from a frame of ambrotypes taken about 1861, from the Cy Fowler collection. Sylvia’s picture had been replaced by an ambrotype taken around 1864, and Henry’s and Pascal’s had been replaced by tintypes of them with their wives taken later in the 1860’s. The image of Pascal is damaged because parts of the picture were stuck to the cover glass. The c. 1861 ambrotypes of Sylvia, Henry and Pascal are lost to us. Click here to see the original frame.
