This item features a portrait of a pretty young woman posing at Newman’s Studio of Art Photography at 1029 – 1031 Lexington Avenue in New York City. The young lady is posed in a lovely dress and is also wearing a lovely smile. In fact, even her eyes seem to be smiling. Note the rolled curls over her left shoulder. Samuel J. Newman originally had a partner, Edward Leaming, when he started his photography business. Between 1902 and 1906, Newman operated independently out of the Lexington address.
Isn’t it unusual for a non-theatrical circa 1904 Cabinet Card portrait of a woman to show her with a low neckline?
