Description

Full-length studio portrait of a woman, cabinet card photograph, c. 1895–1905. The sitter is shown standing beside an upholstered chair, wearing a dark, floor-length dress with a fitted bodice, high collar, and decorative yoke detailing characteristic of late Victorian to early Edwardian fashion. Her hair is center-parted and arranged smoothly back, and her composed posture reflects formal studio conventions of the period. The photograph exhibits pronounced fading, surface spotting, and tonal loss, likely due to light exposure and age, consistent with turn-of-the-century photographic materials.
