Pleasantly plump in New Hampshire
Next up from the Liberty Bell album is this photograph from the 1890s showing a round-faced woman with quite a lot of lace and ruffles adorning her dress. Her hair is slicked down to her head with small curls around the hairline. These were called frisse I believe. From what I can see of the dress, the styling is from the mid 1890s, with lots of layers, tucks, bows, ribbons, and probably more that cannot be seen. The photographer was N. A. Nealey of Linden Street, Exeter, NH.
Who Were They?

Those curls around the hairline were also know as a ‘lunatic fringe’.
