23 photographs · 5 document groups

Photographed by Whit from the recovered Joseph Dow collection. Descriptions draw on visible names, dates and subjects; uncertain readings remain provisional. Reading copies are turned upright, and each image links to the unchanged full-resolution original.

JDT-D429 · Academy pupil notes: entries for 1803–1806

The tied roll opens to lists of pupils with year, age and hometown, supplemented by red-ink biographical notes. Entries include Charles Maury of Bordeaux, Elisha Goddard of Charlestown, Alexander Motley of Portland and Richard Ober of Beverly. Two photographs preserve the same opening rather than being treated as separate records.
