caption: The image shows a black and white portrait of a woman in a dress, identified as Mary Elizabeth Taylor, taken in 1864. She is wearing a dress with a high neckline and long sleeves, and her hair is pulled back in a bun. Her facial features are delicate and her eyes are looking off to the side, giving her a gentle and serene expression. The photo is framed in a simple black frame, adding to the timelessness of the image.
