Description:
Photograph of Elvira Carletti (1896-1990). After her marriage with Alexander Shellish (1881-1979), she was known as Elvira Shellish. The photograph was taken in the garden, in front of the arched portico of a house, c. 1911. Elvira is wearing a sleeved, floor-length white dress with a high neck and a wide collar on the chest. The skirt flares away naturally from her tight waist, around which is a light-coloured belt. She has her hair gathered on both sides and caught up. Both the outfit and the coiffure of the young lady reflect the early 20th century fashion.
