Henry Adams with Marquis on the back stairs of the Adams home at 1607 H Street, Washington, D.C., May 6, 1883.  
Clover listed this image on the first page of the notebook she used to keep a detailed record of her photographs. 

 

Miriam Choate Pratt, Alice Greenwood Howe, and Alice Pratt at Smith's Point on Boston's North Shore.  
This is one of the most haunting photographs that Clover took during the summer of 1883.

 

A view of snowy Lafayette Square across the street from Clover and Henry's Washington home.
