The mount is signed J.B. Schmidt, 3088 Frankford Ave., Phila., identifying the Philadelphia photography studio. The woman's clothing, hairstyle, oversized bow, and presentation style suggest an early 20th-century portrait, likely from approximately the 1900s–1910s.
A striking period portrait with excellent facial detail and an attractive original studio mount, well suited for collectors of antique photography, Philadelphia history, women's fashion, and genealogy.
