This is a photograph of Caroline Virginia nee Rudge Coble. On the back it reads "Jennil [?] to her friend [?] C.V.R". I've independently discovered an 1888 Richmond city directory entry for her father, John William Rudge, so it is possible that this was taken when the family lived there. If so, she would have been 14 years old. But family had relatives on the Pae side that lived in Richmond, so this could also have been taken on a visit.
This is a photograph of the front of the first Belk store (New York Racket) in Monroe, NC, where Caroline Virginia Rudge and her brother William John Rudge were employed.

Henry Brown, 3. Dr. Redfearn, 4. Ed Austin, 6. Will Rudge, 7. Henry Walkup, 8. Unidentified man in doorway, 9. Billy Benton. (Will Rudge would have been about 14 in 1890, and this seems correct.)

On the back of this photo is written "These were taken about six years ago. Don't know if you all saw them, but thought they were good of Moma. I believe the last ones she posed for. The others in the picture aren't so good so don't look at us. Moma Coble in center." The woman on the left appears to be Hope Helene nee Reinhard Coble.
