Back of card is blank with subject's name written in pencil. Jo is posed on a studio set representing an outdoor scene reminiscent of a garden at a country manor.  Jo's clothing is an exceptional example of period style.  She is dressed in a heavy, high collared full length dress with matching jacket, as well as corset, bustle, gloves and a charming hat.  Her gaze is confident, intelligent, and relaxed.
