A plumed hat and a low-cut dress set this studio portrait apart, and the caption card names Fritz W. Guerin as the photographer. The card carries no date, so the picture's exact year is unknown, but its "Glamour" and "Hats" tracings point to a fashion-minded studio portrait. Large feathered hats were a popular trend in the early twentieth century, and photographers often used such accessories to show off current styles. Looking closely at the hat's construction and the neckline can reveal how dress and fashion were presented to the public at the time.
