Studio portrait of Albert Nash, Robert Nash, and George Nash. The three were brothers. Two are wearing uniforms. (This is a modern photograph of an original photograph. Location of original unknown.)
Note: Albert Nash left the school in 1898 and his brothers arrived in 1911. Therefore this photo was probably taken when Albert was visiting them at the school during their stay there, or it may have been taken in Philadelphia where Albert was living during a visit from his brothers.
