Cabinet photo of woman from the early 1880s standing next to stone fence prop with an urn holding flowers. She is wearing a tightly buttoned bodice with slim sleeves. The skirt has a draped asymmetrical overskirt and quite possibly a bustle. She has a wide ribbon at her neck and fingerless mitts and a high "flowerpot" hat trimmed with many flowers. She is standing on a grass rug with a painted backdrop.
