Up for sale is an original, authentic antique black-and-white (sepia-toned) studio portrait photograph dating to the 1920s \"Roaring Twenties\" era. This incredibly sweet and beautifully composed historic image features an elegant woman posed in a photography studio setting alongside her beloved family dog.

The woman features a classic period hairstyle and is dressed in a formal long-sleeved dress accented by an elegantly patterned silk neck scarf.
