Summary[edit]

Description

Card photograph of an unidentified African American woman. No date; estimated 1890-1900. A. H. Plecker Photo Studio; Lynchburg, VA. (Carte de Visite, 2.5"x4.25"). From the Allen Houston Brock Photograph Collection, PhC.109, State Archives of North Carolina, Raleigh, NC

Alden O'Brien, costume curator for the DAR, wrote about this dress in November 2015:

This looks as if it’s a woven design tho it’s hard to tell. I don’t know that polka dots were particularly a fad at this time, but people did like bold designs. The date of 1890-1900 is pretty close, but I can narrow it down to more like 1888-90 or 91 at the latest—there is NO puff in that sleeve and the bodice is still very 1880s looking.
