I couldn’t let this little girl go without including her in my collection here. If she were alive today she would be over 100 years old. She’s showing off her bonnet for a series of postcards on local headdresses from Brittany. All through France women and girls from every town and region would have been proud to show off their traditional clothes

Now why would they write over the picture? I love the hat and apron.
I guess the apron is a pin on?
I remember I used to buy those invisible netings to wear over my hair so the curls would not be lost during the day. I don't think they sell them anymore but they were very useful little things.
I love these images - and this one is especially charming. Thanks for sharing!
A lady's Life: The back was for the address only up until the autumn of 1903. On a lot of older cards the pictures were faded at the edges for writing.
Walk in the Woods: She does look sweet, doesn't she?
What a wonderful old photograph.
Stefani: Thank you, and it was probably hand made too!
