Late 1840s-early 1860s, this group focuses on a certain Frank A. Wade (born August 7, 1836) plus associated friends and family members such as his mother, great-grandmother and siblings. All of the images are identified by either Wade or a later kinsman. Two 1862 civilian portraits of Wade are presented in molded thermoplastic cases, one featuring a beehive on both sides.

Overall good condition; one thermoplastic case with loss at a hinge.
