- An albumen print on cabinet card depicting a young woman holding a closed fan. Captured in studio, leaning against a chair draped in a light floral print cloth, an unidentified dark-haired woman wears a high ruffled collar and dark long sleeve dress with lace and frill detail throughout the bodice and arms. A short, dark, thin shawl is wrapped around her neck and shoulders. There are bracelets on both of her wrists and rings on the fingers of both hands. At the bottom of the photograph card, in brown ink, is: [D. D. DARE, CHEYENNE, WYO.]. There are various graphite inscriptions on the reverse of the cabinet photograph, to include intricate art nouveau patterns throughout. An elaborate custom maker’s logo features foremost, in brown ink, and reads: [D. D. DARE / Photographer – CHEYENNE, WYOMING.].
