Surratt Commission and Anna Surratt

[Warren]

Thanks for the replies and kind welcome! Just a couple of more pictures, the back of the Surratt Commission engraving and the back of the lady in the dress photo:

The copper engraving plate is 7"x5" and weighs a hefty 11.5 ozs. Scratched on back is "Surrat (sic) Commission". The "...ission" is much fainter.

The back of the lady's photograph shows a 3 cent Internal Revenue Proprietary stamp which I understand was used by photographers at the time. You can see the thumbprint of the photographer (I assume it was the photographer) when he attached the stamp.

The copper engraving was an internet find. I wish I knew the year they did these. It appears to have lots of ink stains. I wouldn't dare clean it, though. Very little info on the lady. The woman I bought it from said it was a gift from many years ago; she had no others. She did remark she was moving back east because she did not like the Texas heat.
