I wanted to share more old photos with you today. The large sleeves are easy to date to the late 1890’s. This is a very beautiful young woman. Notice the watch pinned to her bodice. The photo was taken by Kaufmann’s at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Don’t you love the trim on this woman’s dress? She seems very studious and serious – but perhaps it’s just her glasses!
This is a diamond-shaped photo, as you can tell – terribly difficult to get in a frame! Definitely an 1890’s photo! This young couple is very sweet! Photo taken by Parsons in Richmond, Indiana.
This handsome gentleman is a true fashion-plate with his high collar and wide tie!
And I believe I saved the best for last! Late 1890’s – those huge leg-o-mutton sleeves! The lace collar makes a dramatic addition to her dress! Photo taken by T. W. Ryding, Franklin, Ohio.

Once again such great pictures! Love the descriptions the best! You Rock!
It was such a simple time back then.
Thank you! I love the old photos, too! Just wish there were names on back of them!
