This is just what I would expect from what has become one of my FAVORITE sites. The woman is just radiant.

Anachronistic casual

I was amazed at the date on this photo because the casual capture is more typical of 1955 than 1905.

So no surprise when I saw the name Kasebier.

Along with her more formal portraits her work included previous Shorpy features like this and this.

Probably something like what these girls are wearing. I think stockings back then were more socklike. And thanks!!

Wonderful photo and this has become my favorite web site. Does anyone know about the stockings? They look very large and tall -- they would stretch long of course if wet, but they also seem wide at the top.

I love seeing early examples of photographers making the most of framing. What a wonderful shot.

Very vibrant

Not stiff or stagey like so many early photos. Great use of foreground and background elements to frame the subject, too.

This has to be one of the best photos I have seen on your site thus far. Hard to believe this was taken in 1902. Thanks for it.
