members of the <strong>Wallace</strong> family and friends including his mother<br />

Mary Anne <strong>Wallace</strong> née Greenell, his sister Fanny (Frances: Mrs<br />

Thomas Sims), his wife Annie <strong>Wallace</strong> née Mitten and Frederick<br />

Geach (mining engineer in Timor c. 1861); 6 of the photos are of<br />

or include <strong>Alfred</strong> <strong>Russel</strong> <strong>Wallace</strong>.<br />

Photos are arranged by subject beginning with the oldest member<br />

of the family, then by date.<br />

Other portrait photos and sketches are in <strong>WP</strong>6/8, papers re <strong>Alfred</strong><br />

<strong>Russel</strong> <strong>Wallace</strong>'s autobiography ''My Life'', where they are marked<br />

up for publication; there is a photograph almost certainly of <strong>Alfred</strong><br />

<strong>Russel</strong> <strong>Wallace</strong>'s father-in-law William Mitten in <strong>WP</strong>15, Mitten<br />

papers; portraits of <strong>Alfred</strong> <strong>Russel</strong> <strong>Wallace</strong> are included in<br />

numerous press cuttings in <strong>WP</strong>2/2, interviews and biographical<br />

print pre November 1913. A few photos of other individuals occur<br />

<strong>Wallace</strong>'' and in Mrs R <strong>Wallace</strong>'s hand c 2000 ''Also Violet and<br />

William (his children)'' - personal information from Mr & Mrs R<br />

<strong>Wallace</strong> 12.6.03. None of the photos apparently included the<br />
