Description
Paper photograph, representing a fashion portrait of a lady modeling a black and white walking suit, with thin zigzag pattern, consisting of a jacket and a skirt, with black silk satin waistcoat under it, and a black lace bodice with high collar. The jacket has a rang of three buttons on the bottom going on diagonal, and similar buttoning repeats on the left side of the skirt on the knee level, and on the cuffs. There is a pointy triangle pocket on the side of the waistline, with black silk trimming and three shiny buttons, repeating the style of the waistcoat. A large black straw hat, covered with a veil over silk flowers, completes the look. The woman is leaning on a printed umbrella, and holding a bouquet of roses.
