PORTRAIT OF A PRETTY YOUNG WOMAN AND HER LONG HAIR THAT NEARLY REACHES THE FLOOR
DREAMY EYED LITTLE GIRL WITH LOTS OF HAIR IN BANGOR, MICHIGAN
“Gimme head with hair. Long beautiful hair. Shining, gleaming streaming flaxen, waxen. Give me down to there hair. Shoulder length or longer.” The photograph reminds one of the lyrics of the song “Hair” which was performed in the play of the same name. It seems likely that the adorable little girl in this cabinet card photograph, heard many comments about her beautiful hair. She is wearing a pretty dress and is holding a copy of Wilson’s Photographic Magazine. Posing the girl with this magazine, probably because it was conveniently available in the studio, doesn’t seem quite appropriate. The photographer could have had her bring something personal (ie a doll) from home, or provided her with a prop more relevant for a child. The dreamy eyed little girl in this photograph is sitting on a very interesting and unique bench. She is wearing flowers near her collar and a necklace with a locket. Northrup, the photographer of this cabinet card, was located in Bangor, Michigan.
A WOMAN WITH SERIOUS HAIR IN VERMONT
The woman pictured in this Cabinet Card has unusually long hair. Her hairstyle is quite unique and I bet she had to get up very early in the morning to groom herself for the day. The photographer of this image is N. H. Chapman of Cambridge, Vermont.
