Impressions taken from this plate  (1)
A Lady wearing a hat with a feather dates from 1873 or 1874. The butterfly signature on the sole known impression fits with these dates (Graphic with a link to impression #K1300102).
It has been dated from the costume of the sitter, with the apron-style overskirt, fitted bodice, the high, lace-trimmed collar, sloping shoulders and narrow sleeves. 1
