Agriculture: On plate: "Elberta Fruit Farm of 22,500 trees, Leslie, Ark. Apr 22, 1914." Tractor, view of orchard., April 22, 1914
Scope and Content Note
Glass plate negatives of businesses and people in Leslie (Searcy County), Arkansas, 1907-1921. At least some of the portraits in this collection were obviously taken outside houses, with a backdrop hung to make a "studio" portrait. Some images were identified by people attending a Homecoming at Leslie; their notes, from the photocopies, are included in contents descriptions.
Unless otherwise noted, the plates are 6 1/2" x 8 1/2". Many, especially the portraits, have two images per plate (designated "a" or "b").
