Today’s cabinet card is two dashing ladies with some sweet huge hats and a dash of fur at the neck.
The seated lady has a loose short jacket, a fur stole and some lovely applique on her skirt. The standing lady also has some fur. She has a belt with a buckle and it appears she has a bag hanging from the belt. She has some feathers on her hat and a Gibson Girl hair style underneath that hat. Her sleeves are a clue that has me thinking this is a 1900-05 photo. They are a bit fuller at the wrist where the sleeves were massive at the shoulders and fitted at the wrist in the 1890s.
The photographers stamp is a bit difficult to see in a full view of the card.
I didn’t any information on him. That was a dead-end. But, you can see the embossing around the photo and that is indicating the card is older than 1890. I’d say our strongest clues are the ladies clothing and I would put them at 1900-05.
Lovely card. I think these 2 ladies are related, I see similarities, I think 🙂 I’m so glad that I found your blog, as I am learning so much about your subject, it’s great!
Thanks!!
These two beauiful ladies are dressed in their finest for all time… I like the sewn in details on the seated ladies skirt.
I liked that too. Stylish ladies!
