ANALYSIS: A portrait of a woman with a hatTuesday, November 17, 2009 2:34 AMFrom: "Penny Ladnier"To: steve@hahn.infoSteve,I finally have the analysis of the photo. This one took a little more research than your other photos. There is a lot in the photo...strange for a portrait. The collar kept throwing me off in dates. This is a very fashionable lady!This photo's fashions dates from 1869-1875. I would lean more towards 1869-1871 because of her full hairstyle. This one could be Elizabeth!Some fashions in the photo that date from 1869-1875:1. Thin black choker2. Empress Eugenie hat3. Jabot, tie-like scarf, with the frayed edgesHer collar must be an heirloom. It dates pre-1860s/Civil War.Penny LadnierOwner, The Costume Gallery Websiteswww.costumegallery.com13 websites of fashion, textiles, costume history
