Description
Photograph
of a
cabinet
card
portrait
of a
woman
seated
on an
elaborately
decorated
chair
. The
woman
is
wearing
a
long
formal
gown
and what
appears
to be a
sleeved
cape-coat
. She has a
ring
on the
third
finger
of her
left
hand
(possibly
an
engagement
or
wedding
ring
or
both)
. Her
waist-length
hair
spills
over
her
right
shoulder
, and the
crown
of her
head
is
draped
with what
looks
like
strands
of
pearls
.
Around
her
hips
she
wears
a
decorative
girdle
(belt)
made
of
diamond-shape
segments
. The
mount
of the
original
cabinet
card
bears
the
name
and
address
of the
photographic
firm
: "
Gilbert
and
Bacon
,
1030
Chestnut
Street
and
820
Arch
Street
,
Philada.
"
Gilbert
&
Bacon
was a
well-known
firm
located
in
Philadelphia
,
Pennsylvania
.
Proprietors
were
photographers
Charles
M
.
Gilbert
(b
. ca.
1848)
and
William
F
.
Bacon
(ca
.
1843-1900)
.
It
was in
business
from the
1874
(peak
of the
cabinet
card's
popularity)
until
ca.
1929
.
After
Bacon's
death
in
1900
, his
son
William
operated
the
business
the
late
1920s
. The
identity
of the
sitter
and the
photographer
have not been
verified
,
although
some
information
indicates
that the
photograph
may
have been
taken
by
Reverend
Henry
Cooke
.
It's
possible
that
confusion
arose
over
the
fact
that
Jay
Cooke
had a
brother
named
Henry
David
Cooke
,
who
was not a
minister
but a
businessman
and
journalist
.
