Vertical vintage photograph of a young girl holding the hems of her finely pleated dress out to each side of her body. She is dressed in dark clothing from head to foot, including an intricately tailored dark top, pleated dark skirt, opaque dark stockings, and patent leather shoes. She is looking directly at the camera, her head tilted to the right, and her wavy long hair goes past her shoulders. She stands in front of a plain backdrop.

Miss Iola Sawyer is very pleased with her finely pleated dress. Portrait (with identification of the sitter on back) by the Maxwell Brothers, Spokane, WA, c1890-94. From my personal collection.
