Description |
Handwritten on the back is "Grandmother Dalton ?" and advertising for L.D. Judkins Art Chambers, Indianapolis. Thought by the lender to be Mary R. (Test) Dalton, 1849-1925. The oval cameo carte de visite and the woman's elaborate hair style with a hairpiece, dates this image to the mid 1870s. Lorenzo D. Judkins studios are listed at both 16 1/2 East Washington Street and 36 1/2 East Washington Street in the 1873 Swartz Indianapolis City Directory. The 1870s was all about big hair and most stylish women used fake hair to give them the volume. Catalogs offered chignons, switches, braids, puffs, and bangs made from human or animal hair. A telltale giveaway in this example is the slightly different color and texture. Dangling or drop earrings were also popular in the 1870s. |
