I am a commissioner at the Burwell School in Hillsborough, NC . As commissioners we are tasked with preserving and researching our historic site. Elizabeth ( Hobbs ) Keckly spent 6 of her most formative years at Burwell School ( 1835-1841). Though enslaved She is by far the most interesting and famous person to have spent time at Burwell. http://www.burwellschool.org/<br /><br />Your photo is intriguing in many ways because the clothing and time frame for photos of this type perfectly coincides with the age of EK in the 1850swhen she gained her freedom. I love the proud, perhaps defiant gaze of the woman. If this were Keckly it would be the earliest known photo. I would love submit this photo to analysis with your permission to get an opinion as to matches with know Keckly images. <br /><br />Would appreciate any dialogue you can give me. <br /><br />Thanks.Steve Pecknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488052677647528167.post-78368236893824899692017-07-05T15:15:42.423-04:002017-07-05T15:15:42.423-04:00Have ever tried facial recognition to match the ph...Have ever tried facial recognition to match the photo to known photos of Keckly at a later age? I am a commissioner for the Burwell School, <br />A historic site in Hillsborough, NC where Elizabeth ( Hobbs) Keckly spent six of her most formative years ( 1835-1841). Your photo is intriguing in many ways in that the clothes are of the 1850s when EK would have gained her freedom. I personally love the defiance of her gaze and believe it could be the earliest know photo of this remarkable American. Would appreciate a dialogue with you about this photo.<br /><br />Steve Peck<br />Steve Pecknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488052677647528167.post-13334659320858962432013-02-25T00:59:20.082-05:002013-02-25T00:59:20.082-05:00If the picture you obtained is not Elizabeth Keckl...If the picture you obtained is not Elizabeth Keckley, as stated as the previous comment states, could it be her mother Agnes?

But I am certain that that is not Keckly...one thing that doesn't change that drastically over time is the shape of the cheekbone. Still an awesome find and story.New Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12199181738509292494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488052677647528167.post-89885016088299319492011-05-01T08:00:52.198-04:002011-05-01T08:00:52.198-04:00Hi,

I'm reading the book "Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Keckly: The Remarkable Story of the Friendship Between a First Lady and a Former Slave" by Jennifer Fleischner, copyright 2003. When she was working in Washington, D.C., she was doing very well financially, so she could have had the earlier photo mounted in the expensive case.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Cheryl MorrisCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06726307776458256794noreply@blogger.com
