THE CHICKEN LADY: Portrait photograph of Nancy Luce (1814?-1890), a farmer in Martha’s Vineyard, MA. She achieved local fame as the eccentric “Chicken Lady” when she erected marble headstones on her farm dedicated to the memory of her beloved deceased chickens. The site became a roadside tourist attraction that she capitalized on by selling visitors photographs she had commissioned of herself holding chickens (such as this one), along with booklets of poetry she had written about them.
