<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 4531505, member: 33&quot;]She&#039;s wearing a very fancy dress, and as Debora pointed out, a bit different from the norm at that time. Her hairstyle is good for 1895. I can&#039;t tell if it is some sort of theatrical or performance costume (perhaps a singer?) and I don&#039;t recognize her.</p><p><br /></p><p>We finally have one item with clear handwriting, except for that darn first letter in her first name!</p><p><br /></p><p>The way the back is written, I think it is possible that she is some sort of performer. Alternatively, she could have been just a &quot;regular&quot; person, somebody very revered or respected by the JMC whose initials are below her name. And that missing arm! Whether really there but somehow hidden, or whether actually missing would be interesting to know. If she was a performer and missing an arm, there should be writeups about her some time in the 1890s, at least. With only her surname to go on, it might be quite a search![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
