Photograph of Daisy Kellum looking into a mirror as she fixes her hair. Daisy Kellum sits with her back to the camera, just left-of-center. She sits atop a stool and gazes into a mirror that stands ahead of her while she raises both hands to her head and fixes her hair. The mirror stands beyond her and to the right of her in a corner. Daisy's reflection is visible in the mirror. A chair sits against the wall to the left of Daisy and faces out towards the camera. The negative is damaged. The upper left corner appears bent and black and white splotches dot the image.
Text from negative sleeve: 1709. Los Angeles, California, about 1899. The Kellums. The Kellum family move from 224 East 24th street to either Clanton or Stamford [sic] street, near Eighth street. The number on the house is 1416 so they may have been down by 14th street. Forget now. 15 individual pictures of Daisy Kellum taken at this location. 15 films.
