The Palmetto girl" takes its name from the palmetto, a fan-leaved palm long associated with the American South and Florida, though the record does not say where the photograph was made. The card is dated 1928 and carries a copyright held by Exhibit Supply Co., with Underwood & Underwood listed as the claimant, a reminder that stereographs of this era often passed through several firms. Cards like this were designed for paired lenses in a hand viewer, which gave the figure a sense of depth a flat print could not. Its subject is catalogued simply as a woman of the 1920s, typical of a genre that favored everyday types and pleasant scenes.
