- Description:
- A pair of nearly identical photographs for viewing the depicted image in three dimensions with a stereograph viewer. A young, light skinned woman in a long, light-colored plaid dress, is seated in a hard-backed chair, with a drawing frame vertically suspended in front of her. She is doing some sort of close handwork. There are many heddles (thin metal loops used to separate and control the warp threads) on the frame; the ones to her right are held in place with a piece of fabric, the ones directly in front of her have a mass of dangling dark threads.
