Woman coiffed as a “moss-haired girl” or a Circassian beauty. A literary tradition exists for the Circassian beauties, but in the United States they achieved popularity as a sideshow attraction promoted by P. Barnum, beginning in 1865. The woman is also wearing what appears to be a tight-laced or corseted dress and a multi-strand rope pearl necklace. Please review ALL photos and title.
