Description

A black and white photograph of a woman in silhouette taken by Schmedling. The woman is wearing a light colored dress with dark polka dot patterns, a high neck secured by a bar pin, and a high puff at the shoulder. Her hair is also styled in an 1890s style, with light, short bands and her hair likely secured in a bun on the back of her head. The bottom gutter of the card is printed "Schmedling, 828 Market St. | Chattanooga, Tenn." The rear features an aesthetic movement graphic with black eyed susan and tile motif that reads "Schmedling. Photograher | 282 Market St | Chattanooga, Tenn."
