caption: The image shows an old black and white photo of a woman in a dress, taken by Edward S. Curtis in 1908. The woman is standing in the center of the frame, her face illuminated by the light of the camera. She is wearing a long, dark dress with a high neckline and long sleeves, her hair is pulled back in a bun, and her hands are clasped in front of her. Her expression is one of contemplation, her gaze directed away from the camera, as if she is deep in thought.
