We’re back with another Monday Mystery post. All of the images from this feature are available on the Texas Digital Archive (TDA) and we welcome folks to browse through all of the images available on this site. We’re looking to our community of patrons, which includes academic researchers, genealogists, photography historians, and Texas enthusiasts, to help us identify some of our photo treasures.

Image: 1995.112.11

Description: “All Aboard,” woman and boy in cart pulled by goats, about 1908

Collection: Clyde and Thelma See glass plate negatives collection

Question: This is one of the few images in the See collection with an identified photographer – Fletcher Photo Company. We’re interested in any additional information about this photographer. Was his studio in a nearby town in Texas? Was he a traveling photographer of the day? And can we credit him with creating some of the other images in this unique glass plate negative collection?

And as always, if you find an image on the TDA that you’d like to submit for a future Monday Mystery post, please email mailto:archinfo@tsl.texas.govand include “Monday Mystery” in the Subject line.
