"E. Wilkerson," two photographs by Rufus W. Holsinger taken on November 15, 1917.

An African-American woman named Eliza Wilkerson is listed in the Charlottesville City Directory, 1914-15: "Wilkerson Eliza, h[ome] 417 Parrott" (p.191); this may or may not be the same person as photographed below. 

Additional information about E. Wilkerson will be added as it is researched.

NOTE that the name with which the portrait is labelled (or, labelled "untitled") is not necessarily the name of the sitter(s) in the portrait, but rather the name of the person who paid for the portrait when it was taken (the date and name associated with each photograph is from the business ledgers of R. W. Holsinger).
