This 1880's tin type with paper sleeve shows a attractive young woman with a serene look on her face. She is wearing typical 1880 garb and hairstyle. At her throat is a pin that is seen commonly in the 1880's. Her left arm is resting on a photographer' chair. Her dress is interesting with the dark stripes down the front of the bodice. I wonder what she was thinking about as she posed.
She did a good job on her hair creating curls to frame her entire face. In so many pictures the curls were just in the middle like a little clip-on afterthought. However, she looks like she's been hypnotized and she doesn't look comfortable in that pose.
ReplyDeleteThis is a neat one! For some reason, it doesn't look as old as it is. Ahead of her time?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the visit, Teresa.
