Signed in ink on face of photograph: "Lovingly, Leane." No other markings or information about this woman, except for "Johnson," the photographer's name. After this many years I suspect he's no longer in business, but it's likely he made a living for much longer than this woman's hairdresser.
This portrait is unusual. It has the finishing and mounting typical of a turn of the century print, but it lacks the typical toning (or fading) of a print of that age. The image is almost completely white (intentionally white, not from fading), containing mostly bright tones, and is mounted on an equally white card stock with serrated edges. I can't help but wonder if the same scissors were used to trim the girl's bangs.
