Sepia-tone carte-de-visite photograph of a woman identified as Roxanna Burt. The image shows a bust-length portrait of a woman wearing a dark high-collared dress. The woman wears earrings and a dark hair comb near the back of her head. The photograph is mounted on board with a gold leaf edge and looks as if it has been trimmed to fit into a previous frame. On back is written in pencil "Roxanna D[illeg] Burt / Grandma Burt, father's / b 8/18/1810 / d. 1/19/1892 / mother of Harriet A. Burt / who m. Walter S. Sprague / HWS's gt gt mother."
