Carte de visite of three young women in group portrait. They are each wearing dresses of the same pattern. They are probably sisters because of that similarity and 2 of them even have the same fabric. The dresses have gathered bodices, dropped shoulder seams, and very full sleeves. They each have a small lace collar and a brooch. Their dress style is from an earlier period but the loose curls were more common in the early 1870s.
