    The above photograph is perhaps not the most attractive or pristine Moss photograph to survive, but the 
    handwritten date on the reverse indicates 1892. The photo could have been taken any time prior to this and   
    presented to 'dear Aunt Betsy' in 1892.  
    Inscription: "To My Dear Aunt Betsy, with fond love [?], Mary. Feb 29th / 92"

 By November of 1894 the Moss studio has been superseded by Cameron.
