No idea. It looks a bit frilly for a hat, especially a 20s cloche hat. We found the photo after her death in 1914. The picture will remain a mystery. Thx for commenting
I don’t know the reason for the photo. The dress looks like a cotton summer outfit but the pleating and gathered drop waistband use a lot of extra fabric for poor people. Also the hat suggests perhaps it’s a special occasion. Does anyone have comments or input?
