Summary

Description

Photograph of a young woman with a blonde, plaited hairpiece, by T & J Holroyd of Harrogate. The photographers were brothers Thomas Holroyd (1821–1904) and James Holroyd (c.1825–1874). Thomas was a portrait and landscape painter, and James was a photographer, both from Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England. Although they were both credited, it was James who took most of the photographs.

Note that the woman has been placed in a pose often used to conceal pregnancy. The reason for discretion was not embarassment, but the awareness that many pregnancies resulted in death of the mother or baby, so celebration was postponed until after a successful birth.
