About this piece

Original black and white snapshot, silver-gelatin print, from the 1920s featuring two women posed outdoors in drop-waist dresses, long beaded necklaces, and bobbed/finger-waved hair typical of Jazz Age flapper style. The women stand on a lawn in front of a house with columns, trees visible in the background. The photo shows edge wear, a corner tear, and creasing consistent with age.

The reverse side contains handwritten identification notes, including names and an address in Clinton, Iowa — this written identification is the strongest value feature of the piece.
