A Very Familiar Face: Family recognizes young woman in photograph currently on display
A pretty young woman poses in her high school graduation dress, looking out from a photograph taken in 1932. The same woman, a beautiful nonagenarian, meets her gaze in 2011.
The subject of a portrait by Natchez photographer Earl Norman, Margebelle Stewart visited Hill Memorial Library this week– she and several family members came to view the exhibition now on display, titled: Portraits of a River City: Natchez in Photographs. Stewart’s daughter, Caroline, recognized her mother’s photograph in publicity associated with the exhibition, prompting the family to come to LSU to view the items on display.
