Description
A black and white full body photograph by Charles Bean Conant, Congress Street, Portland. Subject is identified on the back as Lizzie A. Rogers, Old Town, ME. This likely refers to Elizabeth A. Rogers (ca.1864-after 1920), a grand-daughter of Orimel Rogers of Stillwater. Since Conant was only active from 1875 to 1884 and Lizzie does not appear to be much younger than 20 hears old, the photo likely dates from the final years of Conant's activity. Lizzie is posed leaning on the back of an upholstered wooden chair holding a lace-edged fan. She wears a three-tiered full skirt, buttoned-up bodice and outer layer with long padded sleeves and lace cuffs. Her hair is pulled back with curls to frame her face.
