Original antique cabinet card photograph showing a young woman posed in a formal late-Victorian studio portrait. She wears a high-neck dark dress with decorative collar trim, ruffled white neckline, and a pendant-style piece of jewelry.

The dark cabinet-card mount is marked “A. McFarlin” and “Groton, N.Y.” Abram McFarlin was a professional photographer active in New York and Pennsylvania during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The sitter is unidentified. A strong regional New York portrait with crossover interest for collectors of Victorian fashion, antique photography, Groton and Tompkins County history, jewelry, and identified photographic studios.
