Name/Title

Young Woman with Cat and Dog on Porch

Description

Jeannette Latimer relaxes with a pet cat and dog on the porch of 64 Holly Avenue (later Holly Street) circa 1905, in the early years of the Latimer family’s residence there. A young woman, dressed in a white Edwardian-style dress with a high neckline and long sleeves, sits on a wooden bench on the porch of a house. She holds a small cat in her lap and gazes slightly away from the camera. A ribbon or bow adorns her neatly styled hair. Black and white photograph, likely developed from a glass plate negative or early film negative.
