Who's portrait is it near the telephone in the drawing room at Collinwood?
I always thought it was Roger, but there it is in 1897 and a closer shot of
it reveals a rather fluffy vest on whoever it is.

The one hanging on the far wall I thought was Joshua Collins, but I suppose
that's not the case. The one to which you're referring, I think, I used to
believe was Jamison and that they forgot to take it down in 1897. It looked
like a modern wardrobe. Of course, it looked a little too casual.

I was always curious about when the Collins posed for portraits. They always
seemed to have one made a year or two before their untimely deaths (Sarah's
portrait, for example - why else would you commission a portrait of a 9 year
old?).

It kinda looks like John Quicny Adams to me.
