Portrait of Clarissa (Samways) Pippy. The caption on the back of the photograph reads, "Auntie, from Class, 1900." Clarissa (Samways) Pippy was one of three daughters of Georgina Eliza (Forward) Samways and William Samways. She was the niece of Ernest Edward Forward (Georgina's brother). She later married a man named Pippy and had three children. The Rorke Family Photograph Collection contains 301 black and white and 28 colour photographs of the Rorke Family of Carbonear, Newfoundland, as well as the Forward and Bemister families from that area who are linked to it by marriage. Although spanning from the 1840s-1970s, most photos are from 1900-45, showing family events, homes and Newfoundland and Labrador locations. There is also an album of photos taken while James Rorke attended the Leys School in Cambridge, England.
