This photograph is included in a scrapbook that chronicles Frances Goodrich’s early years in Madison County, North Carolina. Frances Louisa Goodrich (1856-1944) was among the first to promote a revival of weaving in the North Carolina mountains, founding Allanstand Cottage Industries and later donating its assets to the newly formed Southern Highland Handicraft Guild. This circa 1890s photograph illustrates the use of "homespun" clothing and blankets in mountain communities. The central figure is identified as Mrs. Frank Shelton; the other woman and the children are unidentified. The photographer's name is unknown.
