Original early-1890s cabinet card photo of a woman wearing an amazing crazy quilt
dress, with her matching hat sitting on the prop pedestal to the right.
There was a bit of a crazy quilting rage in the early-1890s, and it looks like this woman took it a step further by constructing a dress! It's a rare image... have owned and sold many quilt images from this time, but this is my first quilt
dress...
The cabinet card measures 6.5" x 4.25" with blank, clean back, as produced. It is in very good antique condition with light surface wear and soiling, none of which detracts in any way from the image.
