Description

1 3/4"h x 1 1/4"w faded sepia tone oval photo on dull gray board of a relatively young woman. Her hair was piled up away from her face. Her hair may have been light brown and it may have had a streak in it above her right eye. She had on a dark neck band topped with a bead necklace and had a star at her throat. Her dark dress had close-fitting sleeves that stood up at her shoulders, dating her dress to the early 1890s. There was a large lace fichu in front with an extravagant dark bow centered on her chest. There is no identification of the woman. Text on verso: in black stamp ink on an embossed oval "Alex J. Yowell Photographer 706 4 1/2 Street, S. W." [presumably Washington, D.C.]
