This photograph shows a young woman posed full length, standing with one arm resting on a mantel and wearing a split skirt, a divided garment that around 1900 was often worn for cycling and horseback riding and was still considered daring for everyday wear. The record dates the print to about 1902 and credits Fritz W. Guerin as photographer, though those details come from an old caption card and have not been independently verified. The studio-style setting and the pose suggest a fashion display, and the card's tags, "Glamour" and "Hats," point to the era's interest in showing off new clothing and millinery.
