MrsAnnaBrownellJameson_recto_shadow

An 1844 photograph of an older light-skinned woman with shoulder-length curled hair adorned with ribbons and bows. She looks off to the left of the camera, her mouth drawn downward into a slight frown. She wears a voluminous dress with a lace collar and capelet, and has a shawl wrapped around her. In her proper right hand, she holds a pair of wire spectacles, and has a magnifying glass tied around her neck with a thick dark cord or rope.
