Cheerful Travelling Companions


These ladies appear to be decked out and ready to go somewhere. Looking at the photo, I can imagine them boarding a train for a short ride for a weekend visit. Are they sisters? Friends? The shadow of a third woman photographing them shows that she, too, is wearing a hat in the same style. Their faces are difficult to see in the bright light of the sun, but I can see the cheerfulness of the woman on the left and she looks like the kind of person who would be fun to know. This photo was probably taken in the early 1920s, perhaps even a little earlier.

I really think they are cousins. :-) I see a similarity in their facial features. Very interesting photo.
