First thought that comes to mind is this girl was conned into doing a dramatic role for some old Shakespearean play and is donning the toga, ferns, and the headband completely against her will. Well, it would be against my will. She is holding her arms in a bit of a defensive way, shy perhaps. The dress not covering all the bits she had hoped that it would? This photo has no date on it, rotten, but it looks early 1900's to me.
Doesn't this remind you of a Jane Austen type thing to do? Or like Little Women when they would all dress up and put on plays just for fun? It's a pretty cool and unique picture to be hanging out in a book for who knows how long. Our girl here is married, so let's suggest that her husband just loved the photo and tucked it away to keep it safe. Isn't that a lovely thought.
