Circa 1900. "Lettis -- girl with bicycle and dog." 4x5 inch glass negative, photographer and location unknown. View full size.
Her bike is much like mine but rather more Spartan in its appointments. Lovely hair, fine old house, rampant foliage, baby in wicker pram, doting grandad, loyal pup (looks like they've put his mat there to encourage him to join the portrait) - a cosy corner of time.
I love that Shorpy answers questions I never knew I had, such as, "I wonder what people's yards looked like prior to the invention of the modern lawn mower."

Amazing hair. Very cool chain guard and bike. Bicycle "Take me away". Freedom at last look on her face.
