Portrait of an old woman in a dark outfit holding a small bouquet of flowers. The photo was probably taken circa 1900 but this is an old woman who is wearing clothes she likes from a previous era. The bonnet style is from the 1870s.
"Aunty Faville, age 86, Waverly. This picture shows the type of headgear worn during the era. This picture was found with others in a box in the bank storage room. Faville, Maria." Source: Waverly Public Library
