This vintage folder photograph features a portrait of a young pretty Red Cross nurse. Note her detailed uniform. She was photographed by the Canan Studio in Brainerd, Minnesota. The photographer was Marie Ann Canan (1869-1944), a female photographer in Brainerd for many years. She operated a studio at 209 1/2 South Seventh Street (1901-1902) and at 616 1/2 Front Street (1905-1925). Both of these studios were in Brainerd. Female photographers were the exception, not the rule, during the time this photograph was taken. SOLD
