This photograph shows its subject from behind, so attention falls on the back of the garment and how it hangs on the body rather than on the face. The caption card links it to clothing of the Arctic peoples, recorded here with the term "Eskimos," which is now regarded as outdated. The record dates it to about 1919 and notes that it was deposited for U.S. copyright, a common route for photographs of that era. Because the date and caption are unverified, the picture is best read as a record of how northern dress was presented to viewers in the years after World War I.
