A pretty woman poses for her portrait at the studio of J. P. Neiler, located in Sharpsville, Pennsylvania. This is an unusual cabinet card. The woman in this photograph is beautifully dressed. Her dress is made from a wooly looking fabric. The dress has large coin-like buttons. The woman is holding the curtain over the bottom half of her dress. The curtain has a paisley pattern and clashes extraordinarily with her dress. Why would the photographer pose her in a manner that creates a fashion faux pas. Perhaps she made the curtains and is proudly displaying them. Despite the clash between her dress and the curtain, this is a captivating photograph. SOLD
