PORTRAIT OF AN AFFLUENT WOMAN : HIGH FASHION : PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND

This cabinet card portrait features an affluent woman dressed in high fashion. The manner in she is dressed entitles her to be considered a fashionista. Note the detailed bead work on her frilly dress. This photograph was taken at the William Mills & Son studio in Providence, Rhode Island. The pair also operated a studio in Olneyville, Rhode Island. Research revealed little about the photographer, but a photograph by this studio appeared in National Magazine (1908). The image showed a wagon full of barrels of oysters, being loaded onto a freight car that was going to take them from Providence to the west for distribution. This cabinet card photograph is in good condition (see scans).
