This photograph shows three women modeling dresses, and its title begins "Frock of Sym..." before the record cuts off, so the name of the design or its maker is not fully legible here. The print is a copyrighted photoprint from Underwood & Underwood, a New York firm known for commercial and press photography in the early 1900s, and its caption card dates it to around October 1919. That was the first autumn after the First World War, when fashion was moving toward simpler lines, looser fits, and hemlines that were rising from the ankle. Pictures like this one document how such styles were presented to buyers and the public.
