Description

7"h x 5"w sepia tone photo of Ruth Petrie Dent in what was probably her wedding dress. She was seated in profile. Her very dark hair was pulled back to a loose bun low on her neck. She wore something on a short chain around her neck. The dress had a square neckline with wide straps. Her shoulders were bare, but then a piece of material was tied in two places farther down her arm. The edges of these pseudo-sleeves may have had beads sequins on them. An embroidered sunburst was just above her left breast. There was some sort of glittery belt at her waist. ************************************ Text on verso: none
