Lizzie M. Doble Ferrier's album

This photo album belonged to Lizzie M. Doble, and has her name embossed in gold-leaf on the cover. It is 50 pages, some 4-shots, some single shots. Most of the photos are unidentified. A few were identified to me by my grandmother many years ago. Some have newspaper clippings tucked into the edges of the frames. Some of the very dark photos are tin types. The small photos are daguerrotypes by Wing & Allen. I have included the text of the clippings in the captions below.
