Are you sure about that, Dave? Women's clothes button right-over-left, and men's clothes button left-over-right. Her dress buttons left-over-right... either it was homemade and someone made a mistake, or the image has been flipped.
[This image is identical in orientation to the 60-year-old print it was scanned from, which has writing in the upper right corner. The negative may have been flipped (or, in newsphoto parlance, "flopped") before the print was made to have the subject facing in the desired direction for the layout of the newspaper page this picture appeared on. - Dave]
