Photo Number 441

This is a cabinet card that was found in the back of the Nettie Parks Album. 

Extra Child with Flowers Such a darling little girl! ( Her hair is parted in the center and it is curled!)   Her dress is showing the huge “leg of mutton” sleeves with the ”wings” on the shoulders that were popular in ladies blouses around 1895.  The information on the Photographer O E Flaten of Moorhead and Halstad Minnesota and Gardner ND shows that he was at these three studios from 1887 to 1902.   So I will date this photo at the year 1895.

Thanks for stopping by, do come again:)
