Images of Dolly Fisher


Although we are well familiar with the face of Jonathan Fisher through his four self-portraits, his wife, Dolly, remains a cipher.  In the Fisher House collection there are two small pictures of this kind and forebearing woman,, a silhouette from the early 1820's, and this daguerreotype probably taken near the end of her life in the late 1840's.
