John Freeman (11/26/2019): "The hat style the woman is wearing was
introduced in 1908 and remained popular with women for about 5 years, but not
necessarily with men. The style would follow the Merry Widow style, as more
practical because it was more head-encompassing, more resistant to wind or open
auto travel, and the woman looked stylish. The style got the name “peach basket”
but often men’s naming was more derisive (“chamber pot” was the worst). Just
another example of women’s expressing their independence that men would have to
accept!"

John Freeman (11/26/2019): "This album is a great
example of how each photo was printed from the original glass
negative, with a scalloped matting. The subject can be seen, but
they are framed by artistic matting. A great example of a popular
style of the day, to create more than just photos on a page, but
having the extra artistic matting when printed from negative to
print." |
