Hairstyle Description: This lady's hair is about mid-thigh length. She has medium length bangs and the sides and top of head hair are pulled back and secured.

Costume Description: The sweeping train, eloborate draping on the skirt, and dropped bustle, all point to the natural form era of the bustle period. The height of the collar also is of this time frame.

NOTE: The brush she is holding in her hand is what we named this website after "A Brush with History." Then this photo became our logo for the site.
