Minna Eugenia Reeves Melchers in a portrait from Charleston, South Carolina.

Year: 1892 • Collection: Müller

Minna married Louis Alexander Melchers, son of Theodore Melchers and Helena Müller Melchers, in 1887. They had seven children. Minna's distinctive voluminous sleeves help us date this image from the popular Vandyke studio in Charleston, where W.B. Austin advertised himself as an "artistic photographer."
