content: 2021.13.1a: A sepia tone cabinet card of a woman posing with a striped parasol. The photograph is in portrait orientation. The unidentified woman is depicted in full length, standing in three-quarters pose, with her face turned towards the viewer. She is holding a parasol, tip down, and resting on the floor, with her proper left hand. Her proper right arm is resting on the small, turned and carved, wooden pedestal table next to her. She is also holding a beaded, drawstring purse with her proper right hand. She is wearing a sleeveless, full length, medium tone, silk gown over a white collared, long-sleeve shirt, a light tone, fur shrug over her arms and shoulders, and a black hat with a broad brim. She is also wearing a necklace with a large, crown-shaped pendant. On top of the pedestal table is a vase of flowers and two thin books. To the right of the woman is an elaborately carved corner chair turned backwards. The woman is standing in front of a plain photographic backdrop accented with a painted jug of flowers near the base of the pedestal table, and a floral panel painted down the right side near the corner chair. The rectangular photograph is adhered to a gray, rectangular shaped cardboard mount. There are several lines of embossed bands around the photograph. The surface of the rest of the mount is embossed with irregular crosshatching. At the bottom center is a black photographer’s stamp. The stamps features graphic of a double-headed eagle with splayed wings and a shield over the breastplate. Above the eagle is a crown and below is a wreath. Stamped text to the right of the eagle reads [LEO WEINTROB / 1520 ATLANTIC AVE. / ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.]. The back of the carboard mount is plain.

The label has a red frame and a white rectangle at the center with a blue star at the bottom center.
