Woman in Mourning Wearing a Memorial Brooch, Albumen Cabinet Card Copy of an Earlier Photo, Circa 1850s
"Broadbent & Taylor, 914 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. S. Broadbent, W. Curtis Taylor,"
This is a copy of an earlier photo--probably either an ambrotype or daguerreotype. Photographers Broadbent and Taylor, or whomever owed this image, seem have drawn strengthening lines around the woman's shoulders and head, as well as around her eyes and possibly lips. On the actual Cabinet card, these lines are not really noticeable, but when blown up, they become quite evident.
The sitter wears fashions that date the photograph to the 1850s. She wears a mourning brooch at her throat, its hair compartment and black enamel clearly visible.
