hello again – i’m interested in comparing the signature on the back of my cdv to the one owned by her descendant. would you put me in contact with her? perhaps you might forward this note and my email address? or i could send pics to you to forward. also, i have a similar cdv of a man who i wonder if maybe is her husband. thank you! – christina

That’s fantastic! Be sure to hold onto it since I’ve only ever seen one of these (mine was supplied by a Ca. relative of Oatman’s).

hello – today i found one of these among a box of carte de visites bought at an auction in new england. mine is in considerably better condition. on the back it is inscribed ‘Olive Oatman Rochester’ beneath the photographer’s emblem. i’m not sure exactly why i’m telling you this, but i’m so intrigued by her and thought you would appreciate learning of another example of this image.
