This is a Cabinet Card that I purchased at the Antique Shop in Detroit Lakes Minnesota.
I will guess that this photo was taken about 1895. Her dress seems to have wings on the shoulders, which was very stylish about that time. She has a very ornate celluloid hair clip.
J.H. Hamlin was in Casselton Dakota/North Dakota during the 1880’s and 1890’s. Dakota was split into North and South in 1889.
The trim on her dress is lovely, I am seeing it as dark brown trim on a green dress. She must have beautiful red hair..what do you imagine?
Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
I wonder where that "comb in the hair" look came from... were they mimicking indian's head dresses?
ReplyDeleteDon't you know that hair clip would bring a fortune today?
ReplyDeleteShe does appear to be fair with red hair. I would love the dress to be brown with black trim. No matter the color, it is lovely!
Enjoy your day. Thanks for sharing your photos with us, Connie.

I have found many photos like this at yard sales over the years. Once I talked a person about putting the photo albums back in their closet for future generations.
ReplyDeleteLovely vintage photos! You have a wide and great collection of these kind of cards. They're all fabulous!
ReplyDeleteCould the ornament be similar to Spanish combs? They usualy had a veil though.
