Photo Number Seventy-Nine

This is Mr and Mrs Ackert....taken at the Chase and Miller Studio in Dixon, Ill. It is quite an elaborate folder with an old piece of wax in one of the corners that is folded down on the outside.

This is what is written on the back.. Mr and Mrs ----- Ackert ...Capet? Cspel? Ospet?   My eyes are tired of tying to figure it out. Tomorrow I will have a photo of someone who is related to them..might even be their son.
I love the pleats on the sleeve of this blouse or dress.  The hat is surely a real fashion statement..and her glasses..held with just a nose piece and a chain....I still don't know exactly what these glasses are called..but she wears them well.
Any guesses on the year?  I think it was a wedding photograph..
Thanks so stopping by!  Do come again:)
*** Update:
Norkio : The type of glasses is called a pince nez - nose pinch.
