Historical Significance

Willis was a known local photographer in the area, and these cabinet cards—a popular portrait format from the 1870s through the 1890s—provide a valuable look at period fashion and the use of elaborate studio props. This portrait, featuring the subject posed beside an ornate pedestal, is a classic example of the "studio art" photography of the time.
