Louisa May Alcott

A handsome period cabinet photograph of Alcott by J. Notman, 99 Boylston Street, Boston, depicting her seated in formal dress beside a writing table. The image bears the ornate printed Notman studio backmark. Minor edge wear, corner chips, and a surface crack do not detract from the fine presentation.

Louisa May Alcott (November 29, 1832 – March 6, 1888) was an American novelist, short story writer and poet best known as the author of the novel Little Women (1868) and its sequels Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886).
