Description

3 11/16"h x 2 1/4"w sepia tone portrait of a young woman who may have been Lula Ford. She had dark hair pulled back into a mass of curls and several carefully arranged curls around her forehead. She wore earrings. She had on a dark dress with very elaborate decoration on each side of the bodice--heavily embossed diamond cutouts with netting in the open space and embroidery around the openings. The dress appeared to button down the front. She had a light colored ruffled lace scarf around her neck fastened with a large heavy cross. On the card below the image on the left it said "C.W. Motes" and on the right "Atlanta, GA." ************************************ Text on verso: There is lots of printing in dark gold on a cream background with the logo of the photographer "C. W. Motes no. 32 White Hall Street Atlanta, GA." and in blue ball point ink: "Lula Ford?"
