This head-and-shoulders study shows a young woman turned to the left, wearing a low-cut dress that marks it as evening or formal wear for its time. The record dates it to about 1902 and credits the photograph to Fritz W. Guerin, though the date and attribution come from an old caption card and have not been verified. The card's annotation, "Glamour," suggests the picture was made to show off fashionable dress and a polished studio look, a common aim of commercial portraiture in the early 1900s. Such images offer a useful view of how women's clothing and posing were presented to the public in that period.
