Maggie Petersen about nine years old, daughter of Hans and Catharina, Chicago.

Year: 1897 • Collection: Petersen

Maggie posed at J.B. Wilson Studios, Chicago, Illinois. Margaret is wearing a necklace that looks like one she's worn before in other photos, possibly the heirloom cameo brooch/pendant that her father Hans Petersen wore in his wedding portrait. This is a restored image from a photocopy of a lost original cabinet card.
