Date
1904
Description
Snapshot of Bleek in a garden holding a kitten. A much-faded copy of the same half snapshot is in the Bleek 1872 album. 4¼ x 1½ inches.
Notes
This copy was loose in an envelope with a variety of snapshots. Scott lists it on the cover as "Aunt D - in Germany - ½ picture." Bleek's hair in this photograph is put up in a fuller, more relaxed style than in any previous photographs, suggesting that this image was taken closer to 1904 when she returned to South Africa with her mother and the eldest and youngest of her sisters, Edith and Helma.
