A Boston Beauty

I acquired this captivating image of a teenage girl several weeks ago down in Massachusetts. It was taken at the studio of WH Getchell at 375 Washington Street in Boston probably during the 1870s. She must have been from an affluent family, as the lustrous necklace of pearls around her neck clearly indicates. Her curly locks of brown hair with a ribbon and the innocent yet penetrating gaze are really something special and entrancing. I don't have much to say about this photo other than I really love it and wonder: Who was she?
