A young woman poses from the waist up in a wide-brimmed hat, holding a sprig of fruit tree blossoms. The print is credited to photographer Fritz W. Guerin, and its caption card is tagged "Glamour" and "Hats," which points to the pictorial portraiture of the period, when studio images often presented fashionable headwear as a mark of style. The caption card gives no date, so the exact time is unknown. Still, the pairing of a stylish hat with spring blossoms was a common motif in commercial portrait work, and it shows how clothing and accessories were used to suggest taste and refinement.
