An ambrotype of ten members of the Beecher family in a group portrait originally taken by Mathew Brady in New York, in March 1859. This ambrotype was copied by photographer George M. Howe from one of the original salted paper prints. The image is in the bottom half of a leather case and has a gold mat with the stamp of G. M. Howe of Portland and Upton, Maine. Lyman Beecher is seated at center, flanked by his four daughters (from left to right, Isabella, Catharine, Mary, and Harriet). Behind them stand five of the seven brothers (from left to right, Thomas, William, Edward, Charles, and Henry Ward - George died in 1843, and James was in Hong Kong serving as a missionary). This was the last time they came together before Lyman died in 1863. The portrait was reproduced in several photographic formats over the years, including the print in Box 4.
