Re: OT: Old Portrait
They came to SA with two infant daughters on an aided passage (steerage on the SS Dudbrook) in 1862. RKL worked for his sponsor in Natal for several years before the now much larger family moved to Harrismith where he bought a farm & built a house in town. They raised 11 children. Marian lived to 86 & Richard to 91. The house & farm are still in the family. The photographer must have been an early user of a dry plate camera which became widespread in the 1870's.
