1880s Carte de Visite photograph by Charles Keeping of Exeter
An unknown young woman shown standing with he hands resting on an ornate box with books placed nearby. She wears wedding rings and a locket, as well as a brooch in the shape of a key at her collar, and foliage in her buttonhole. Her dress is swagged with ribbon and many buttons on the bodice, but is of an open design and her dress seems generous around the waist. Perhaps she is expecting a child? Her pose seems designed to distract and conceal.
