About
Carte-de-visite of Miss Laura W. Stebbins shown in bust portrait. She is facing the camera directly. Her hair is parted and smoothed down tightly then gathered behind her head. She wears a dark colored bodice with a plain white collar and a large oval brooch is pinned at her center front neck. The edges of the image are purposefully faded in the popular style of the time.
