Description:
These two plaster heads were taken from the crown molding of the cieling decorations of the Richmond home, Duncan Lodge, in which Edgar Allan Poe's sister, Rosalie Mackenzie Poe, lived with her foster mother, Mrs. Jane Scott Mackenzie, from 1843 until 1865. These pieces are part of a collection of Mackenzie family items the Poe Museum purchased from Mackenize descendant, Edward Byrd Armistead, in 1998.
