This oval vignette studio portrait, inscribed 1901, depicts a woman in formal turn-of-the-century dress, her lace collar and ornamented hair typical of the period's fashion. Found among the WWI-era letters of Pvt. Willis W. Wagener, the photograph likely served as a personal keepsake carried by the soldier — a common practice that connected servicemen to loved ones left behind during their deployment overseas.
