The Anonymous Nurse: 19xx
"Unknown woman in nurse's uniform -- between 1873 and ca. 1916." 5x7 inch glass negative from the C.M. Bell portrait studio in Washington, D.C. View full size.
Odd posture
Lovely lady, her hands say she works hard for a living, but I can't for the life of me figure out why she's leaning that way in that chair. Very different from other photography of the era that used poses "better designed for longer exposure times".
