This woman’s outfit is exceptional – from the well-fitting coat to the lovely travel skirt, to the fur muff she carries and the bonnet perched on her head!  Photo taken by A. Huber in Vienna, March 18, 1892.

Definitely an 1870’s photo!  This dress is amazing – ruffles, ruching, added trim and, of course, the bustle!  Both the man and woman have extraordinary hair!  Taken in Vienna by Joh. Hahn.
