Antique Edwardian Photograph — Young Woman in Dramatic Plumed Hat, c. 1907-1912
Fitzhugh, San Luis Obispo, California
Offered here is a photographic portrait mounted on an oversized presentation board, 6 x 4.25 inches overall, from the studio of Fitzhugh, San Luis Obispo, California. The unidentified young woman wears a striking wide-brimmed “Merry Widow” style hat trimmed with ostrich plumes — a fashion statement at its absolute peak between 1907 and 1912 — paired with a striped high-collar blouse and brooch.
Dating: The exaggerated plumed hat style dates this piece confidently to the Edwardian era, circa 1907–1912.
Condition: Clean and well-preserved, with no notable foxing, staining, or tearing — a nicer condition example than typical for the period.
A wonderful piece for collectors of Edwardian fashion and millinery history, California photographica, or striking period portraiture generally.
Combined shipping available for multiple purchases. Ships securely in rigid photo sleeve/mailer.
