Cabinet Card Portrait of young woman 1880 Through the 1890s -PHILADELPHIA (B2)**

The picture is a cabinet card photograph, a popular format for portrait photography from the 1880s through the 1890s.  Era: Based on the large, puffed sleeves and train of the dress, and the style of the cabinet card itself (darker card mount and ornate lettering), this photograph likely dates to the late 1880s or 1890s. The presence of "Portrait Gallery" at the bottom with an address and city also aligns with the typical presentation of cabinet cards from this period. Subject: The woman in the photograph is wearing what appears to be a formal gown or a wedding dress. Wedding dresses of the 1890s were characterized by large puffed sleeves and trains, as seen in the image. Photographer/Studio: The photograph was taken at a studio called "Portrait Gallery" located at 1632 Chestnut St, Philadelphia. Photography studios in major cities like Philadelphia were common during this era. Significance: Cabinet cards provide a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, styles, and social customs of the late 19th century, offering insights into family histories and photographic advancements of the time.  Please refer to pictures,  SORRY NO RETURNS.
