A young woman stands in three-quarter length against a wall, with a body of water visible beyond her, in a pose the photographer clearly arranged for the camera. The print is credited to Fritz W. Guerin and dated to about 1903, a period when posed studies of women like this were widely made for illustrators, artists, and magazines that favored idealized images of feminine beauty. The record is based on an old caption card, so its details are unverified, and the word "Glamour" appears there as a tracing, which hints at how such pictures were marketed at the time.
