My landlady, Martha Richford Roberts, photo circa 1910. I rented from her for three years in 1970’s, on Foster’s branch, a chestnut log cabin + 100 acres in the Southwestern Mountains, $100/mo. She called the place Roundabout. The rumor is that someone in the Dave Matthews organization owns it now. Dunno. Haven’t returned in 35 years.
Martha danced as a youngster. This photo titled “The Comet”, taken by Count Jean De Strelecki.
Martha wrote poetry and fed many cats. She had a housemate, Martha Mabel Moore.
Wow. That is a strange and beautiful photograph.
Oh to have a glimpse of young Martha!
Wow wow wow– great pic! I love Jugendstil-era photos. Re dance, Isadora wasn’t quite in her prime yet, but lyric modernism was starting to creep into every facet of life.
