{"value"=>"<p>The bulk of the photographs are of Edwin Booth including portraits from his young manhood to old age, photographs of him in costume and photographs of him with others including his friend, the actor <span class=\"persname\">Lawrence Barrett</span>, his daughter, Edwina as a little girl, and his grandchildren. There is one portrait each of his two parents, one of his brother,<span class=\"persname\"> Junius Brutus Booth, Jr.</span>, two of his brother, <span class=\"persname\">John Wilkes Booth</span>, and two of his first wife, <span class=\"persname\">Mary Devlin Booth</span> so obviously some of the photographs predate 1867. There are also photographs of other members of the Booth and Grossman families, some unidentified; photographs of the unveiling ceremony in 1918 of the statue of Edwin Booth as Hamlet in Gramercy Square Park; a photograph of an interior of the <span class=\"corpname\">Players Club</span>; and a few miscellaneous photographs sent to Edwin Booth or his daughter.</p>"}
