[Nannie Thomas]

This photograph depicts a young girl between the ages of 2 and 4. The verso of this image denotes that this is a photograph of Eva Swann, but the format, clothing, and face do not match that of Eva or the time period that this photograph would have been produced. I suggest that this photograph may be of Nannie Thomas Swann, the mother of Eva Swann, as a young girl. I believe the face matches more closely to Nannie than her daughter, Eva.
