Faces from the Past – Hinkley, & Kinney
In this installment of Faces from the Past, I examine five identified portraits and six unidentified photographs from the Hinkley Family Photographs album in the Linwood Dyer Collection. Spanning roughly forty years of Hinkley and Kinney family history. These images offer a glimpse into the lives of two interconnected Portland-area families. Among the portraits: a young soldier photographed for his sister just weeks after America entered the First World War, two little sisters sharing a book at a parlor table, and a pair of confident young women on the eve of their futures. Do you recognize any of the unidentified faces? Continue reading

The subjects span four generations of the Hinkley and Prindle families of Scarborough, Maine, and Whitehall, New York — from painted likenesses of James Lonson Prindle (1802–1851) and his wife Eunice (Welch) Prindle (1810–1895), made in the early 1840s, to a World War I military portrait of Philip Edward Hinkley (1881–1962). The album also includes a later cabinet card of Eunice in old age, taken by the Portland photographer Lamson between 1871 and 1880, which allows a remarkable comparison across three decades. The identity of a fifth portrait, inscribed simply “Grandfather Hinkley,” remains an open question pending further research. Continue reading
