[Photograph album of the Grove family of Ferne House]
Visual Materials
Scrapbook and photograph album containing pasted photographic prints primarily of carte-de-visite portrait views of various men, women, and children, some in groups, including members of the Grove family and associated families in England, dating from approximately the late 1850s to the late 1860s, as well as portrait views of British royalty, religious and political leaders, and authors and artists. The album also contains pasted illustrations primarily of animals, religious and sentimental scenes, and photographs of buildings including Ferne House, the residence of Dr. John Grove in Donhead St. Andrew, Wiltshire, England, and churches, university buildings, an 1867 wedding party, a croquet game, and European travel destinations. Many of the images have handwritten identifications and some of the images are adorned with original artwork including decorative, hand-colored borders. The album was presumably created by a member of the Grove family, perhaps Emma Philippa Grove (1837-1825), and the portraits focus on the families of the children of Dr. John Grove and Jean Fraser Grove: Louise Grove Selwyn and her husband Frederick Selwyn; Henrietta Grove Hussey and her husband James Hussey; Thomas Fraser Grove and his wife Katherine O'Grady Grove; Helen Sophia Ross and her husband John Ross, and Emma Philippa Grove. Three loose items are tucked into the volume.
