Nydia: 1892

The original sleeve is labeled “Nydia, flashlight, June 2, 1892” My best guess is that she’s posing a Nydia the blind girl from “The Last Days of Pompeii”.  She was either a member or a friend of a prominent family from Thomaston, Maine.   Scanned from the original 5x7 inch glass negative. View full size.
