Cabinet card of a large African American woman. Howie: Detroit, Michigan, n.d., ca 1890. Imprint on recto. The unidentified woman sits wearing a velvet dress with lace trim and metallic embroidery. She wears a multitude of pearls and the photographer captures a charming smirk. Her ample bosom exposed, the cut is daring and more exposed than the typical Victorian fashions of the 1890s, possibly suggesting that the sitter was a madame, sex worker, or sideshow performer. Condition: Toning to card with bumped corners. Image is very clear with only slight imperfections at edges.
