She's very well attired - beautiful gloves and bonnet, and the little pin at her neck is lovely.<br /><br />I have a photo in my collection of a woman of about the same time period with a large hat similar to your gggrandmother's. It's interesting to note how wide the hat is compared to the actual head size of the ladies who wore them. I guess they had to accommodate the hair stacked high and wide.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396178747528220061.post-24579365259920880142013-10-26T10:19:08.259-04:002013-10-26T10:19:08.259-04:00Like you, I enjoy the research that I've done ...Like you, I enjoy the research that I've done to flesh out the story behind a photo I've selected to answer the prompt.
