Apparently cut by family member William E. Bartlett, this grid of 25 silhouettes of the Barlett family are individually dated between the years 1823 and 1840. The Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore owns a travel journal of one of the sitters, William E. Bartlett, Junior, dating from 1847, which details a journey through Europe.
