Description: This is an undated cabinet card photograph of an unidentified young woman wearing an elegant lace trimmed light coloured dress with large pouffed long sleeves. Her dark hair which is parted in the middle has a small ornament at the crown of her head. This photo is c. 1895, based on the width and fullness of her leg-of-mutton sleeves. They were a short-lived fad.
Notes: There is no inscription or photographer's imprint on the card.

The style of dress suggests that this photograph could have been taken ca. 1890-1899.

Unfortunately, there are no clues to link this young woman with London, Ontario.
