Welcome to 2009 everyone. That has a very strange ring to it! Weren't we just complaining about Y2K? Anyway, I picked up this very interesting image a few months ago, and this young lady really seems to have an academic look to her. Maybe it's just the glasses, I'm not sure, but this young lady from the late 19th century/early 20th might be a very young teacher or high school student. Embossed on the front of the image is the following: "Yarmouth Portrait Co. 267 Main Street, Yarmouth, N.S." The "Gateway to Nova Scotia" as it is known, was named after Yarmouth, Massachusetts, the hometown of the first European settlers in that area in 1759, shortly after the end of the Seven Years War and the forced relocation of many French colonists in that region. This unknown lady could be a descendant of those intrepid pioneers, or of one of the many Loyalist families who escaped the American Revolution and found safe haven there. We'll never know!
