(2) Two Antique Cabinet Card Photographs. Depicting Mary Edwina Smith Johnston, her husband Rec. Harry J. Johnston, and their son Edward Wilde Johnston in one studio portrait; and a photo of their infant son Edward in the second photo. (Important Note: The information for the family photo was taken from an identical studio portrait with their names written on the back and the front and shown in our last two images. This copy does not have identification. However, the writing on the back of the infant photograph appears as shown.) Known as Edwina, she was the daughter of the Rev. George W. Smith and Mary P. Smith, and the wife of Rev. Harry J. Johnston. They had a son named Edward Wilde Johnston. Photos by De Young studio in New York City, and by Buell studio in Hackettstown, New Jersey. Measure approximately 6 x 8, and 4 x 6.5 including mounts. Condition: These are original photographs, not a copy or reproduction. The family portrait has a 1.5" tear at the bottom and some corner wear, but the image is in excellent condition. The infant photo is in excellent condition.
