  • This is a page from an early photograph album kept by Frances Louisa Goodrich (1856-1944). Goodrich was founder of Allanstand Cottage Industries, later donating its assets to the newly formed Southern Highland Handicraft Guild. The album records Goodrich's first mission posting in the Riceville/Brittain's Cove area of Buncombe County, North Carolina. The caption at the bottom of the page reads: "Riceville School, 1892." Very lightly in pencil, the adults are identified as "Eva Gorbold" and "F.L.G." at the far right.
