There's so much to love about this circa 1910 photo: the stylish girl, the kitty with a bow . . . And so much to amaze: a cat who sat calmly in a studio for a photo!

She's holding a muff. Plus, she's wearing a ring. Sweet photo.

Dennis Lupien Was wondering the same thing. If not a skunk, perhaps a badger?

We don't know that she is dressed all in black. The coat could be dark green or navy or dark brown. There's no way to tell with a black-and-white photo.

In old photos, my grandmother's wedding blouse (she got married circa 1893) looks black with gray lace around the collar, but I actually have that blouse, and it's dark brown with tan lace.

I've watched wet plate photos develop a few times. Blues and shades of green will come across on the finished plate as almost black. The chemicals used respond differently to various wavelengths.

Why did you capitalize the word "died"? DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

David Phelps Actually, what matters is the fact that we do not know what color it was, regardless of what it looks like to you or me or anyone else.

yes she is wearing BLACK! You might want to research fabrics at the time, they did not have ARTIFICIAL colors and used plants. Mauve was the first color made from a chemical. Black is from Natural wool and is resistant to mud and dirt - THINK ABOUT IT, there were NO WASHING MACHINES OR PAVED ROADS. THINK ABOUT THIS BEFORE YOU SAY something so foolish. Most colored clothing was BLACK, INDIGO, WHITE, DARK GREEN. VERY LIMITED unless one had SILKS from Asia which were IMPRACTICAL in most of the USA

Cats are not as they were before. Today, they feel so entitled to everything! They don't know how to respect and behave! Oh, how times change...
