Image of a middle-aged woman standing in the street. Visible in image: A middle-aged woman wearing a dark dress with puffed sleeves and a white lace neckerchief and holding a purse stands in a dirt road. Behind her, across the wooden sidewalk, two other women wearing white aprons sit on the steps of a house. The roofs of several other houses are visible in the background to the right, behind the picket fence, as well as a church's square-topped bell tower just to the right of the woman's elbow. The exact location and date of this photograph are not known, although the radically-puffed sleeves were fashionable in the 1890s.
