Allan Hughan's self portrait on his 40th birthday.




The above photo was taken as a self portrait for Allan Hughan's 40th birthday. The inscription on the reverse of the photo reveals that it is for his much-loved youngest sister, Bertha Hughan Bishop ( my great-great grandmother), and the date, March 3, is indeed Allan's birthday. Allan and Bertha were very close in age, with last child Bertha arriving in January 1839, not quite two years after Allan.
