Lillian Fowler

Lillian Fowler knows the hat looks ridiculous. But defies you to say one word about it.

(I bought this cabinet card at an antique shop last week just because I loved the hat and the woman's expression. Someone had penciled "Lillian Fowler" on the back. I looked up the photographer, Dennis B. Nye, and learned that he operated a studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota between 1884 and 1904. He then moved to South Dakota.)
