Both photos feature the same unidentified young woman taken during a single studio portrait session by historical photographer C.W. Penny in Plymouth, Indiana.Based on the highly dramatic, ballooned \"leg-of-mutton\" (gigot) sleeves on her dark bodice, these photos can be accurately dated to circa 1894–1895—right before Washington Tuttle bought out Penny\'s studio in February 1895.**What is included:**
1. Full-Length Portrait: The subject is holding an elegant folding fan, showcasing her complete corseted gown.
