[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 30353, member: 33"]It does look like Katharine Hepburn. And I've read [I]Little Women[/I] several times in my life and don't remember a court scene. I've also seen the Hepburn movie version about 3-5 times and don't remember one. This costume does have a 19th-century feel (not sure about the turban, though). There is a Facebook page dedicated to Walter Plunkett that can be viewed without being logged in: [url]https://www.facebook.com/WalterPlunkett[/url] I looked at a lot of the photos, because many are actually his drawings.
