Any kind of surgery is exhausting, so take care of yourself.<br /><br />My take on the dress is that the pleats are decorative only. By this age, the lady would not expect to grow any taller, plus those white floaty dresses always seem to feature tons of pleating. It's hard to see on this one, but if you follow the seams up toward the waist, there are small pleats next to the seams, to the inside of the skirt, right at the hip line, this would help shape the skirt without having to cut a lot of pieces. Lovely technique that I will remember for future projects.<br /><br />NorkioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-43515346522474504232010-12-22T11:44:05.637-06:002010-12-22T11:44:05.637-06:00Today's lunch hour uncovered several things ab...Today's lunch hour uncovered several things about T L Bersagel:<br /><br />He was likely born in 1857. He sold his photography business to Mathias O. Bue in 1912. He then died in in 1913 (Minnesota Death records). So I suspect this picture was taken late in his career but before 1912.<br /><br />From "Lanesboro, Minnesota: Historic Destination By Don Ward, Theodore St Mane, Ted St. Mane" page 101. On page 102 is a picture of the Main Street photography studio nicely painted, nice sidewalks, but with a rutted dirt street.<br /><br />http://books.google.com/books?id=5ssGUCA9gTUCIntense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320880361203053560.post-56197380767385906872010-12-22T11:38:55.808-06:002010-12-22T11:38:55.808-06:00Thanks for the wonderful blog.

That seems more likely?<br /><br />I always enjoy looking at pretty young girls and the fancy wooden chairs. Too bad we've no hint who she might be.<br /><br />He was active "again in the years 1904, 1910 and 1914"? What was he doing in between? Seems like a long time to go between "takin' pichures"!<br /><br />I hope your thumb heals up quickly!!Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.com
