Scholarly Commentary
Introduction
Mrs. Morris outdoors, seated in wicker chair facing right, with her left hand crossed to
grasp the right edge of the chair and her left resting on the edge. A shawl draped across the
chair has moved and is out of focus. This is a modern print showing the original compositional
structure of the photograph; the
print made in 1865 is
cropped and printed lighter.
