You just never know what you'll come across when perusing the photos on the Library of Congress website. I thought this one was wonderful, and it shows "Lois Kimsey Marshall, wife of Vice President Thomas R. Marshall, standing next to a silver tea service."
This photo is from 1920, and Marshall served under President Woodrow Wilson.
I noticed the beautiful silver tea service (actually, it appears to be a tea and coffee service) and Mrs. Marshall's fabulous feathered hat! What catches your attention?
After the shiny silver tea service and the great feathery hat, It was the marble columns in the background that caught my attention--they made me wonder WHERE the photo was taken. Looking again, it appears that Mrs. Marshall is standing in front of a white statue on a low black base. Since I live in DC, it would be interesting to know which building this photo was taken in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture! I love her hat.
ReplyDeleteThe silver and her hat catch my attention. I wonder where the photo was taken?
ReplyDeleteHer Pearls!
ReplyDeleteI'm drawn to her pearls, but I can only imagine how this flower arrangement would look in color! Thanks for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteThe hat definitely caught by attention, as well as Mrs. Marshall's pleasant countenance!
