J. P. Ball & Son, American, 1845 - 1904 · 1887-1900

A black-and-white photograph of an unidentified woman photographed at the J. P. Ball & Son studio in Helena, Montana. The photograph is mounted on light-colored pasteboard with the name and location of the photo studio printed on the front along the bottom. The portrait is surrounded by a decorative black border which seems to resemble a scroll with three rolls. The woman is photographed from the waist up and wears a dark dress. She poses with a downward gaze, looking off to her right. Her left arm is held across her waist and her right hand is held up to her face. The reverse is blank.
