1903 photograph of Lena A. Davis, taken by the Harry L. Plummer studio of Lewiston, Maine.
The image above was enhanced to highlight the handwriting, although the initials at the extreme left are still obscure. My leaning, and that of a reader, is that they are E. L., representing Edward Little High School at Auburn, Maine.
From online research, hopefully correct: [corrections welcome]
