Actually, using the images on the BYU website, I zoomed in on the books, saved the resulting images, and then enlarged the saved images in another program. FWIW, the library website states that Mrs. Barney is holding a photo album. Superhuman vision.

The top book on the table may be <em>History of the War in India</em> (Malcolm). The second book in the stack seems to be a history of the United States.

I'm wondering if Mormon women would include scriptures in their portraits, or other more secular works. Also, completely tangentially but somewhat related to footnote 8 -- it seemsly highly ironic that Mormon women would be singing a suffrage song to the tune of a song about Union (American) government domination. Did content matter or was it just a jaunty melody? Heidi,

This makes me disappointed that the photos I have of my ancestors don't include any props or settings. They're almost all done in a chair with a backdrop. Those dresses are so neat. Excellent.

Those men flanking her are right off a Chippendale's calendar. I wonder how much Anderson was pursuing an agenda with some of these photos. Mrs. Barney’s book is priceless.
