Description
A cartes-de-visite of a young woman, studio portrait by unknown photographer, possibly Alfred Shea Addis, Los Angeles, California, USA, circa 1870. The woman stands, leaning against a chair in front of a curtain. She wears an ethnic costume: a mid-calf, short sleeved dress with a striped sash across her right shoulder. The dress is ribbed with tassels at the hem and sleeve edges. She wears a long sleeved layer underneath the dress. Her hair is curly and teased out for height and volume. The photograph is in good condition with minor surface soiling.
