This 4″x6″ glass plate negative is a portrait photograph of Frances Barbee, from Gresham, Nebraska. She is wearing a long white dress with elbow-length gathered sleeves, v-shaped sheer lace inserts down the gathered sleeves with lace edged cuffs, sheer lace inserts on the bodice with high-stand collar edged with lace ruffle, a bracelet on her arm, ring on her finger, chain necklace with medallion around her neck, sitting in profile in a chair, looking down at several silk roses on a wooden table, her brunette hair pulled up and secured in back with a black ribbon bow.
