A really exciting find!
So, this seems totally legitimate -- what an amazing, incredible find by writer and investigative journalist Summer Brennan @summerbrennan.bsky.social, who found it in a box of photo archives in the Richelieu library. For a sense of why this is so important, see Therese Dolan's 1/5
Does anyone recognise this photo? Saw it for the first time yesterday, in the Wikipedia entry for Jeanne Duval, uploaded in late April. If it's really her, I can't believe it isn't better known. Date (1862) rings true.
