Mutton-Sleeved Girl

Mutton-Sleeved Girl
A fashion (in its day) photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

A cabinet card photo of a girl wearing a dress with leg-of-mutton or gigot sleeves, which were fashionable and popular in the 1890s when it's likely this photo was taken. The painted backdrop features a hilly landscape with a meandering fence and tall flowering plants that match nicely with the grassy floor covering the girl is standing on and the gate-like wooden prop she's leaning against.

As far as I can tell from the hard-to-read stamp on the back of the photo, the photographer's last name was "Aunspach," which suggests that this may have come from the studio of J. S. Aunspach of Pillow, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.

Lovely photo. The amount of effort committed to maintaining the stylish women's clothing of Victorian and Edwardian periods had to be extraordinary. Fortunately, I suppose, there was no shortage of labor to be had for even those in the lower echelons of the middle class.
