Description: This cabinet card photograph features a fashionable New England young woman. However, the main focus of this photograph is the woman’s purse. The photographer erred by forgetting to ask the woman to put her purse in a place out of range of the camera. The woman is wearing dress gloves, a large bow, a wide brimmed hat, and is slenderized by her corset. The photographer is the Bailey studio of Concord, New Hampshire. A Concord business publication (1890) writes about a photographer named H. C. Bailey. The articles states that Bailey took possession of a photographic studio in Concord in 1888 and that he had lived in Concord since 1860. The article also states that Bailey had a branch studio and art store in Woodsville, New Hampshire. Bailey was reported to have been born in Lisbon, New Hampshire. There is no confirmation that this cabinet cards photographer was H. C. Bailey but it is likely to be the case. In 1890, the Bailey studio was located on State Block, on the corner of Main and School Street. This cabinet card portrait is in very good condition (see scans).
