Description

3 5/8"h x 2 1/4"w sepia tone photo. Frances Lillia Dent had both light and dark hair either cut short or drawn up behind her head and a satin? bow on the top of her head. The collar on her dress came up to her ears and provided a frame for her face. Some sort of lace fichu spread below her face. She had a pin at her neck and a long chain hung down over her dress. The dress closed up the front with barrel-shaped buttons. There was just the hint of a smile. Sadly, the card has a deep crack right across her face. The panel at the bottom of the photo said "C.M. Bell Washington, D.C." ************************************ Text on verso: in blue ball point ink "Fannie L. Dent" and printed everywhere was a very elaborate logo for C.M. Bell, who called himself an artist and had four locations on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C.
