A 4"x6" glass plate negative, full-figure portrait photograph of Lydia Linda, Surprise, Nebraska. The woman is wearing a calf-length white dress with elbow-length sleeves and high-stand collar, long black gloves, a black fringed sash tied at her waist hangs down to her hemline. She is wearing dark stockings and shoes, and holds a rolled up document in her hand. A flower corsage is pinned to her bodice and she is standing in front of a painted backdrop that features a fringed, floral drapery pulled to one side.
