This little girl with her parian-head doll may
eventually end up in the 1880s section.
This mother and daughter's dress is so plain that it's
hard to decide the time-period. I'm guessing late
1860s to early 1870s. Notice the little girl's pinafore.
Another group that's probably late 1860s, but
possibly early 1870s.  The lady on the right has an
overskirt on her dress.
Incredible photo of an African American woman in
what may be fashionable late 1870s dress.

Really nice example of a dress with
contrasting trim, the high and tight
neckline, fitted bodice, long tight
sleeves, and draped overskirt.
