Ask about licensing or this print

A woman models a hat, a suit, and a long coat with a fur collar in this print, which the record dates to a copyright registration of 16 July 1920. Photographs were deposited with the Copyright Office to secure authorship, so prints from these files often document everyday dress as much as studio technique. The record credits S. Davis of New York with the copyright, though those details come from an old caption card and remain unverified. Fur collars and snug hats were fashionable in the early 1920s, which makes the picture a useful glimpse of that moment.
