This photograph shows a young woman in a Dutch costume, standing full length and holding a tray of flowers as if selling them on the street. The record dates it to about 1902 and credits the photographer Fritz W. Guerin, though the details come from an old caption card and have not been verified. In the early 1900s, Dutch-style dress was a popular choice for studio costume portraits and staged scenes, and the figure of a street flower seller gave such pictures a familiar, lighthearted subject. The image is worth a closer look for its costume details, such as the cap, bodice, and skirt, which show how fashion and theatrical staging mixed in popular photography of the period.
