Van Doorn, Photographic Artist, No. 241 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY Full length portrait of elderly woman seated in silk polka dot dress, white shawl and bandanna; left arm on table; drapery to right. Carte de visiteSimpson, Randolph Linsly, 1927-19921863engBlue two cent revenue stamp verso. The woman in the photograph was previously identified as Sojourner Truth and in the opinion of R.L. Simpson this may well be the first published photograph of Sojourner Truth. At the time the photograph was taken, she was living on Long Island with a Quaker family. This image predates the photographs titled: "I sell the shadow to support the substance" which she took with her and sold during her evangelistic "sojourns" throughout the country. The identity of the woman cannot be confirmed.
