Antique CARTE DE VISITE (CDV) Photograph. Subject: Naomi Sutherland; Beautiful woman with long hair. In the late 1800s, seven sisters living near Niagara Falls in upstate New York used their unusual hairdos to become famous and tour the world. They appeared at dime museums, in P. Barnum’s circus sideshows, and even at world’s fairs. A handbill for one of their appearances called the sisters-Sarah, Victoria, Isabella, Grace, Naomi, Dora, and Mary-the 7 Wonders of the world! 7 Refined and Educated Ladies! 7 Ladies with 49 feet of hair! 7 feet of hair each! Onstage, the Seven Sutherland Sisters showed off their musical talents. But what the audience really waited for was their big reveal: when all seven loosened their cascades of dark hair that swooshed down, brushing the floor. 4.25″ x 2.5″. CDV is in antique condition with some wear. Please contact to make arrangements.
