| Unknown woman w/Large Hat |
This unidentified turn of the century woman is wearing a walking suit, fur boa, large hat and is holding gloves in her hand on her lap. The young woman probably posed for this photo sometime in the late 1890's or early 1900's. This photo was cut down for some reason, most likely to place in a photo album and it appears there may have been a photographer's mark on the lower right hand corner, but it was cut off.
Those little fox stoles were quite something. They always remind me of the story "Miss Brill." I bought a fox stole in a thrift store once to bring to class because my students didn't understand the reference to Miss Brill's fur or why she talked to it.
