caption: The image shows an old black and white photo of a woman in a dress, identified as Mary Elizabeth Taylor, taken in 1877. She is standing in the center of the frame, looking directly at the camera with a serious expression on her face. Her hair is pulled back in a neat bun and she is wearing a white dress with a patterned shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hands are clasped in front of her and her posture is confident and strong.
